Gessen at times nails the details, as when he describes the standard Harvard lunch: “a huge bowl of green peas...a chicken parm sandwich, and...a cranberry-grapefruit mixture, which I’d patented.” But these glimpses of a fully realized literary world are all too often overshadowed by his characters’ ideational monologues. “Literary Men” may not be great literature, but it is finely drawn...
