One of the boldest voices of his generation, Joshua Cohen returns
with Moving Kings, a propulsive, incendiary novel that interweaves,
in profoundly intimate terms, 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
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 Yoav’s distant cousin David King – a
proud American patriot, Republican, and Jew, and the recently
divorced proprietor of King’s Moving Inc., a heavyweight in the
Tri-State area’s moving and storage industries. What starts off
as a profitable if eerily familiar job – an “Occupation” –
quickly turns violent when they encounter one homeowner seeking
revenge. Driven by Cohen’s characteristic intelligence, boundless
energy, psychological tension, and humor, Moving Kings is a
powerful and provocative novel about faith, race, class, and what
it means to have a home.
