The Sacrificial Circumcision of the Bronx — Arthur Nersesian

Fiction. THE SACRIFICIAL CIRCUMCISION OF THE BRONX is the highly anticipated follow-up to THE SWING VOTER OF STATEN ISLAND - the first two installments in Arthur Nersesian's series The Five Books of Moses, which offers an alternate history of New York. Robert Moses designed contemporary New York's infrastructure. In this novel, Robert has looted his brother Paul's 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 Paul's home life. Paul Moses' rage metamorphoses into an act of terrorism committed against his brother and against a city that he once cherished. Although it stands on its own merits, THE SACRIFICIAL CIRCUMCISION OF THE BRONX is also a memory play that follows Uli Sarkisian - the hero of THE SWING VOTER OF STATEN ISLAND - en route to solving a massive historical crime, while struggling to escape from becoming one of its victims.
