Description
One of the boldest voices of his generation returns with Moving Kings, a propulsive and incendiary novel that interweaves the housing crisis in America's poor black and Hispanic neighborhoods with the world's oldest conflict, in the Middle East. The year is 2015, and two young men, veterans of the last Gaza War, have just completed their compulsory military service. They take a year off for rest, recovery, and travel, coming to New York City where they begin working for David King, a proud American patriot and proprietor of King's Moving Inc. As they work on an "Occupation" job, driven by Cohen's characteristic intelligence, boundless energy, psychological tension, and humor, the line between their past and present begins to blur. A violent encounter with one homeowner sets off a chain reaction that exposes the darker side of faith, race, class, and what it means to have a home.
