The Fuck-Up door Arthur Nersesian
Protagonist with zero redeeming qualities. And a character arc that was just a downward spiral. What an atrocity.
Thanks to Edelweiss for my ARC.
Currently reading this gigantic slab of a book. It is thus far very strange. It opens up like a play with a cast of characters and goodness from right there you know you are in for a ride. The cast of characters read is very good too - totally gets the interest up right way. There are some strange things that are about to happen.
The Five Books of Robert Moses is an alternate New York City History that features real characters but they are different because of the alternate history / reality that Arthru Nersesian has created. Themes of power and political intrigue and terrorism and city planning abound. The opening pages are deep weird and entirely engaging. Its a tome. Its a slab. I am currently traversing in the strange land that Arthur Nersesian has created over a storied many years process and it is so damn good!
I will be reporting in when I have finished this tome to add more.

After trying to read Gary Shteyngart twice and giving up, I decided to return to Nersesian's work. So much better than Shteyngart in my opinion. More concise, less pretentious. He definitely deserves more recognition!
A good book about a guy who's fallen on hard times in the late 80s early 90s, who struggles to survive on the streets of new york. Good comedy and I don't consider this a spoiler but there's a mantra at the end of the second to last chapter in the book, which in my opinion is worth the read.
