Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
ÂNersesian is this generationâs Mark Twain and the East River is his Mississippi.âÂJennifer Belle, author of High Maintenance
ÂNersesian is a first-rate observer of his native New York.âÂPublishers Weekly
"The unquestioned authority of Moses is difficult to fully grasp today -- this unimaginable, outsized character whose outrageous deeds seem the stuff of novels. And that is how Nersesian is tackling him, by blending fact with fiction. Historical events and persons are interwoven with a fascinating apocalyptic story and literary license, at last revealing the tumultuous life and legacy of Robert Moses. Faced with such a daunting subject matter and multi-volume work, Nersesianâs narrative is masterful."ÂBrooklyn Eagle
The Sacrificial Circumcision of the Bronx is the highly anticipated follow-up to The Swing Voter of Staten IslandÂthe first two installments in Arthur Nersesianâs series of novels offering an alternate history of New York: The Five Books of Moses.
Robert Moses was responsible for creating contemporary New Yorkâs infrastructure, but he did so at the cost of destroying neighborhoods. In this novel, Robert has looted his brother Paulâs share of the Moses family fortune, repeatedly blocked his attempts at gaining public office, thwarted his career in the private sector, and set in motion events that decimate Paulâs home life.
Paul Mosesâ deep-seated rage metamorphoses into an act of terrorism committed against his brother and against a city that he once cherished. Although it can be read as a stand-alone novel about Robert and Paul Moses, The Sacrificial Circumcision of the Bronx is also a memory play that follows Uli SarkisianÂthe hero of The Swing Voter of Staten IslandÂen route to solving a massive historical crime, while desperately struggling to escape from becoming another one of its victims.
Arthur Nersesian is the author of eight novels, including the smash hit The Fuck-Up (more than 100,000 copies sold), dogrun, Suicide Casanova (Akashic Books), and, most recently, The Swing Voter of Staten Island, the first volume in The Five Books of Moses series. He lives in New York City.
