And though the fact of his birth does not make him a “Russian writer,” the utmost seriousness with which he approaches literature, very clearly on display in his debut novel, “All the Sad Young Literary Men,” does establish him as a writer in the Russian model. It is not that Gessen sees no room for levity in “Literary Men”—rest assured, there are plenty...
