Book Review: Moving Kings by Joshua Cohen

Jul 11, 2017 20:20

"Though Moving Kings is considerably shorter and more accessible-with less erudite but nonetheless stimulating vocabulary, similes, and fewer stream of consciousness run-on sentences-than Cohen’s previous novel Book of Numbers (also reviewed on NYJB) it, too, skillfully weaves descriptive character portraits and plot lines into a novel of ideas that addresses issues as diverse as capitalism, gentrification, army veterans, the IDF’s conduct in the West Bank, and Jewish identity with sharp sardonic humor." -- from my review in New York Journal of Books
