Viken Berberian Livres

Set against the contrasting backdrops of New York's financial district and the scenic coasts of Corsica and Marseille, this novel presents Wayne, a quintessential Wall Street trader who thrives on market downturns. His audacious strategies involve betting against economic growth, profiting from the collapse of economies and societies while operating from the safety of his Gloomberg terminal. The narrative serves as a modern tribute to Marx's theories, exploring themes of capitalism and its consequences in the contemporary world.

More in love with the alluring properties of cement than he is with his girlfriend, Frunz’s overriding ambition is to become the next legendary architect. If only life was that simple. His father, known as Mr. Cement, is a builder in bed with the autocrats who run Yerevan, the capital of post-Soviet Armenia. As father and son team up to transform the city into a post-modern mecca of Trumpian high-rises, outraged citizens rise up in Revolution against them and Yerevan’s corrupt regime. Will Frunz and his father realize their architectural dreams or come crashing down to Earth in the chaos of the Revolution? Written by Viken Berberian with his signature originality and verve and drawn with audacious compositions, delirious colors, and a kinetic expressionistic technique by the acclaimed painter and illustrator Yann Kebbi, The Structure is Rotten, Comrade is a formally innovative and politically resonant work, by turns prescient, punchy, cautionary, and fearless.

The controversial novel about food, love, and terrorism.Somewhere in the Middle East, an aspiring terrorist has been entrusted with a mission that will reverberate around the to deliver a bomb to a hotel in Beirut, where the detonation will destroy hundreds of innocent lives. If he remains true to his cause, he will bring about his own death. Yet life holds such tantalizing food (his secret vice), the heady pleasures of bicycle racing, the joys of unexpected love. As the days count down to the final, chilling moment of reckoning, this angst-ridden gourmand ponders his existential quandary -- with horrifying and hilarious results. A slyly subversive novel about a food-fixated terrorist who dreams of liberation through a world of eroticism and sensuality, The Cyclist combines humor and edgy lyricism to tell a provocative,page-turning tale of individual freedom and political violence.

A celebration of New York City, told from the perspective of a dog.
