A propulsive, incendiary novel about faith, race, class, and what it means to have a home, from the Pulitzer Prizeโwinning author of The Netanyahus
ย
โA Jewish Sopranos . . . utterly engrossing, full of passionate sympathy . . . Cohen is an extraordinary prose stylist, surely one of the most prodigious at work in American fiction today.โโThe New Yorker

One of the boldest voices of his generation, Joshua Cohen returns with Moving Kings, a powerful and provocativeย novel that interweaves, in profoundly intimate terms, the housing crisis in Americaโs poor black and Hispanic neighborhoods with the world's oldest conflict, in the Middle East.
The year is 2015, and twenty-one-year-olds Yoav and Uri, veterans of the last Gaza War, have just completed their compulsory military service in the Israel Defense Forces. In keeping with national tradition, they take a year off for rest, recovery, and travel. They come to New York City and begin working for Yoavโs distant cousin David Kingโa proud American patriot, Republican, and Jew, and the recently divorced proprietor of Kingโs Moving Inc., a heavyweight in the tri-state areaโs moving and storage industries. Yoav and Uri now must struggle to become reacquainted with civilian life, but itโs not easy to move beyond their traumatic pasts when their days are spent kicking down doors as eviction-movers in the ungentrified corners of the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens, throwing out delinquent tenants and seizing their possessions. And what starts off as a profitable if eerily familiar jobโan โOccupationโโquickly turns violent when they encounter one homeowner seeking revenge.
