  <about><![CDATA[Keith Gessen (b. 1975) is editor-in-chief of &lt;i&gt;n+1&lt;/i&gt;, a twice-yearly magazine of literature, politics, and culture based in New York City. He graduated from Harvard College and earned his MFA in Creative Writing from Syracuse University in 2004.

Gessen, who was born in Russia, has written about Russia for &lt;i&gt;The Atlantic&lt;/i&gt; and the &lt;i&gt;New York Review of Books&lt;/i&gt;. In 2005, Dalkey Archive Press published Gessen's translation of Svetlana Alexievich’s &lt;i&gt;Tchernobylskaia Molitva (Voices from Chernobyl)&lt;/i&gt;, an oral history of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.

Gessen has also written about books for magazines including &lt;i&gt;Dissent&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Slate&lt;/i&gt;, and &lt;i&gt;New York&lt;/i&gt;, where he was the regular book critic.

His first novel, &lt;i&gt;All the Sad Young Literary Men&lt;/i&gt;, was published in April 2008.
