Review
Nik Cohn is not the kind of novelist who is content to write about the merely downtrodden. In his new novel, Need, the belly dancers also deliver Verse-O-Grams; the sad sack has a shoe fetish and dreams of making his fortune as topless car-wash magnate; and even the psychic moonlights running a bizarre pet shop. Of course, the novel is set in New York City, where all this and more is possible, really. There's something a little hallucinatory about Need, as if the strange characters and the even stranger circumstances they find themselves in were all part of a troubling dream one can't quite wake from. Gritty as the urban landscape he details, Nik Cohn's language is the engine that keeps this novel running to the very end.
From the Inside Flap
y is in the grip of a bad-moon heat wave, with the street-corner preachers running amok. Into the fray, four damaged lives come together at a pet store on the Upper West Side, each one consumed by a private hunger and driven toward an inevitable fate. 304 pp. 15,000 print.
