description: Fiction. In his boldest novel yet, Arthur Nersesian breaks into a new landscape that at once fuses the real with the surreal, the psychological with the psychadelic. THE SWING VOTER OF STATEN ISLAND takes place over the course of a week in November 1981. Uli, suffering form amnesia, finds himself on a mission but isn't quite sure what it is, who sent him, or even who he is. He ventures across the perilous wilds of New York City, through abandoned neighborhoods and burned-out battlefields, but soon awakens to the awful fact that this isn't New York City at all. He is a key player in a strange, alternate history of both his city and his country. Nersesian is the author of THE FUCK-UP, SUICIDE CASANOVA, and MANHATTAN LOVERBOY.
