NEXUS: The Reckoning Season
By Richard Eric Worrell
“Witness the vicissitudes of youth through the eyes of three different families in this bold tale of immigration, racism, and social politics.”
“Drawing inspiration from his childhood in New York City and current life in Northern California to set the scene, Worrell's knowledge of Brooklyn alongside his extensive historical research paints a vivid portrait as he moves from present day to the past, shining a spotlight on the generational legacy of racial animus while readers draw moral and ethical conclusions.”

“A stirring saga of immigration and racism, this novel depicts how crime and racism intertwine in the lives of three families.”
“This tremendously ambitious novel seeks to flesh out and dramatize several genealogies of racial animus. Worrell ably meets this goal by amassing a great deal of historical information and filling it with flesh and color. The book’s descriptions of mid-century Brooklyn are as evocative as anything written on the region in decades, and the frequent detours to older history effectively ground the later action and go a long way to making this author the Michener of Canarsie.”
“The characters are uniformly well-drawn, from foundational social justice saints, … to a far more complex figures.”
“Readers equipped with lots of curiosity and a good deal of patience will find both amply rewarded in these pages, particularly in the morally devastating concluding sections, when ethical condemnations are handed out: ‘Too many people straddle the line, unable to keep it real and maintain what can honestly be reasoned to be sensible convictions or principals.’”
“A stirring saga of immigration and racism.”
