the novel's plot revolves around the beautiful fat man Diego
Ildefonso, once a refugee from Franco's Spain, and his wife and
child and their American friends. Manslaughter and kidnapping haunt
the Ildefonso, Nolan, and Rozzo families from the opening pages.
Rich in duplicity and betrayal, Hoboken is a study in corrupted
idealism and blind allegiance. Its characters lurch from one
incident to the next subservient to consumerism, tabloid sexuality,
and the need to be admired at any cost. No one leaves Reichert's
Hoboken unscathed. Marcus Reichert is the author of the novels
Verdon Angster (1995) and The Miracle of Fontana's Monkey (1997).
Displaced Person: Poetry, Pornography & Politics (Selected
Writings 1970-2005) and Art & Ego: Marcus Reichert in
Conversation with Edward Rozzo (2007) and are published by Ziggurat
Books.
