Mark Sarvas is the author of three novels and the founding editor of a well-known literary blog called The Elegant Variation. His new novel, @UGMan, is a short and slightly strange book about an asocial, divorced, but extremely online character who hates almost everything except The Beatles. The character’s Twitter handle is a direct reference to Dostoyevsky’s Notes from Underground, and he shares some modern paranoia with his 19th-century forebear.
