Former managing editor of the renowned literary magazine, the Portable Lower East Side, Arthur Nersesian renders a slice of a harrowing New York experience in his novel The Fuck-Up (Akashic Books). Born and raised in New York City, Nersesian tells the story of a young man struggling to keep the Big Apple from devouring him.
“Read it and howl. And be glad it didn’t happen to you.” –Bruce Benderson
