Ten Thousand Saints

The 1980s New York setting feels so vivid and integral to the story. I'm curious whether this was planned from the start or developed as the characters' stories evolved.

The characters' struggles with identity and loyalty really resonated with me, but I wonder if others saw different layers in these relationships.

The blend of personal growth and social upheaval made for a compelling read. I'm curious what inspired the author to set the story during this particular era.
