Choire Sicha talks 'Very Recent History,' a recession chronicle

As the U.S. economy crumbled, Choire Sicha wrote a nonfiction book about its effect on a group of young men in New York in 2009.

Let's say you had the misfortune to be young and broke in 2009. Some people moved back in with family members. Some people's parents helped them get a job. Others sought shelter in graduate school. Choire Sicha, a former Gawker editor and cofounder of the website the Awl, took one of the unlikelier recession escape routes of all and wrote a book.
