After a domestic terrorist unleashes a dirty bomb in Manhattan in 1970, making the borough uninhabitable, FBI agent Uli Sarkisian finds himself in a world that is suddenly unrecognizable as the United States is faced with its greatest immigration crisis ever: finding housing for millions of its own citizens. The federal government hastily retrofits an abandoned military installation in the Nevada desert, vast in size. Despite the government's best intentions, as the military pulls out of "Rescue City," the residents are increasingly left to their own devices, and tribal warfare fuses with democracy, forming a frightening evolution of the two-party system: the gangocracy. Years after the Manhattan cleanup was supposed to have been finished, Uli travels through this bizarre new New York City, where he is forced to reckon with his past, while desperately trying to get out alive.   The Five Books of (Robert) Moses alternates between the outrageous present of Rescue City and earlier in the twentieth century, detailing the events leading up to the destruction of Manhattan. We simultaneously follow legendary urban planner Robert Moses through his early years and are introduced to his equally ambitious older brother Paul, a brilliant electrical engineer whose jealousy toward Robert and anger at the devastation caused by the man's "urban renewal" projects lead to a dire outcome.   Arthur Nersesian's most important work to date examines the political chaos of today's world through the lens of the past. Fictional versions of real historical figures populate the pages, from major politicians and downtown drag queens to notorious revolutionaries and obscure poets.   Nersesian is in conversation with musician Johnny Temple.   _______________________________________________   Produced by Maddie Gobbo &amp; Michael Kowaleski Theme: "I Love All My Friends," a new, unreleased demo by Fragile Gang.

Arthur Nersesian #94

Novelist, playwright and poet Arthur Nersesian in conversation with Bernard Meisler. Arthur Nersesian, photograph by David Shankbone Arthur Nersesian is the author of nine books, including the classic novels The Fuck-Up and the crime fiction novel Gladyss of the Hunt. Born and raised in NYC, where he still lives, we got off to a cheery start, talking how about Father died of ALS, his mom of Alzheimers and how I’d just put down my cat Jerry the day we spoke. His forthcoming book, The Five Books of (Robert) Moses (Akashic, July 2020), which he’s been working on for 25 years is a post-apocalyptic story about what happens in NYC after it’s been hit with a dirty bomb. We spoke about his writing process, how he walks 7-10 miles a day as counter weight to writing. We also discussed the general burden of being a writer (whether you have a family and kids or not), and the lukewarm parenting we received growing up, when you had to carry a knife in NYC. The Sensitive Skin magazine podcast is now available on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify and the other usual places, or listen to it here. New episodes every Monday! The post S02E08 – Arthur Nersesian appeared first on Sensitive Skin Magazine.
