One of the boldest voices of his generation, Joshua Cohen returns with Moving Kings, a powerful and provocativeΒ novel that interweaves, in profoundly intimate terms, the housing crisis in Americaβs 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 Yoavβs distant cousin David Kingβa proud American patriot, Republican, and Jew, and the recently divorced proprietor of Kingβs Moving Inc., a heavyweight in the tri-state areaβs moving and storage industries. Yoav and Uri now must struggle to become reacquainted with civilian life, but itβs 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 jobβan βOccupationββquickly turns violent when they encounter one homeowner seeking revenge.
