Very Recent History by Choire Sicha is an
idiosyncratic and elegant narrative that follows a handful
of young men in New York City as they navigate the ruins of
money and power—in search of love and
connection. After the Wall Street crash of 2008, the
richest man in town is the mayor. Billionaires shed
apartments like last season’s fashions, even as the
country’s economy turns inside out. The young and careless
go on as they always have, getting laid and getting laid
off, falling in and out of love, and trying to navigate the
strange world they traffic in: the Internet, complex
financial markets, credit cards, pop stars, micro-plane
cheese graters, and sex apps. A true-life fable of
money, sex, and politics, Choire Sicha’s Very Recent
History: An Entirely Factual Account of a Year (c. AD 2009)
in a Large City turns our focus to a year in the life
of a great city.
