Late Fame tells the story of Ed Saxberger, a long-forgotten poet who published a single book of poetry decades ago and has lived a quiet, unexamined life ever since. When a group of enthusiastic young Brooklyn artists stumbles upon his work, they rediscover Ed and celebrate him as a genius. Thrust unexpectedly into their modern, trendy world, Ed must navigate his newfound cult status, his past ambitions, and the complex motives of his young admirers, led by a talented and enigmatic theatre director named Nora.
