The Swing Voter of Staten Island

"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 siA]cle 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.
