The Swing Voter of Staten Island (Akashic Urban Surreal)by Arthur Nersesian
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:“Nersesian’s extravagantly imagined dystopia relies—as did those in Philip Roth’s Plot Against America and Michael Chabon’s Yiddish Policemen’s Union—on an alternate, counterfactual history.”—The New York Times Book Review “Combining sci-fi space/time-warping, Unabomber-style political ranting and an overall air of goose-bump paranoia, this is one turbo-charged trip. . . . A sharp, strange read: Imagine William Burroughs and Philip K. Dick sharing a needle.”—Kirkus Reviews “Brilliant.”—Time Out New York Arthur Nersesian’s six previous novels (including The Fuck-Up, MTV/Pocket Books, which has sold over 100,000 copies) have focused on the tragicomedy of fin de siècle New York City. Here, in his boldest novel to date, Nersesian has broken through into a new landscape that at once fuses the real with the surreal, the psychological with the psychedelic. He lives in New York City. Synopsis:The paperback edition of Nersesian's exalted novel published simultaneously with the second installment in Nersesian's The Five Books of Moses series (see previous page). Synopsis:Fiction. In the first book of The Five Books Of Moses series, Arthur Nersesian breaks into a new landscape that at once fuses the real with the surreal, the psychological with the psychedelic. THE SWING VOTER OF STATEN ISLAND takes place over the course of a week in November 1981. Uli, suffering from amnesia, finds himself on a mission but isn't quite sure what it is, who sent him, or even who he is. He ventures across the perilous wilds of New York City, through abandoned neighborhoods and burned-out battlefields, but soon awakens to the awful fact that this isn't New York City at all. He is a key player in a strange, alternate history of both his city and his country. Nersesian is the author of THE FUCK-UP, SUICIDE CASANOVA, and MANHATTAN LOVERBOY. About the AuthorArthur Nersesian is the author of eight novels, including the smash hit The Fuck-Up (more than 100,000 copies sold), Dogrun, Suicide Casanova (Akashic), and, most recently, The Swing Voter of Staten Island, which is the first volume in a series, The Five Books of Moses.
