Akashic Books announces Brooklyn novelist Tim McLoughlin as the editor of the anthology (in addition to his contributing a story). McLoughlins respect on any Brooklyn street predates the publication of his debut novel Heart of the Old Country (Akashic, 2001), a selection of the Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers Program that was hailed by Entertainment Weekly as an inspired cross between Richard Price and Ross McDonald. For years, McLoughlin has worked in the Kings County Supreme Court in downtown Brooklyn.
Praise for McLoughlins Heart of the Old Country:
. . . cracks with the authenticity that only a writer with a perfect ear can accomplish. Bob Leuci, author of BlazeMcLoughlin writes about South Brooklyn with a fidelity to people and place reminiscent of James T. Farrells Studs Lonigan and George Orwells Down and Out in Paris and London. Sidney Offit, author of Memoir of the Bookies Son

› Find signed collectible books: 'Manhattan Loverboy'Book summary:Overly suspicious second novel from Arthur Nersesian, author of The Fuck-Up.[via]
Nersesian's brilliant follow-up to his underground classic, The Fuck-Up, Manhattan Loverboyis paranoid delusion and fantastic comedy in the service of social realism. Updating the picaresque chronicles in L. Frank Baum's Wizard of Oz and Kafka's The Trial, MLB is the tale of an orphan whose only known background is that of the city itself, a scaffold-covered grid sewn together with "Do Not Cross" tape. In this overly suspicious masterpiece, love is expressed through corrective surgery, and families meet across boardroom tables.
Arthur Nersesian was managing editor of the literary magazine, the Portable Lower East Side. He was born and raised in New York City.More editions of Manhattan Loverboy:
