Everyone's Burning

Kirkus: "Bottom-dog lyricism, good dialogue, grim as a gallows."

Jay McInerney: "A kick-ass debut...brimming with attitude, energy and talent."

Lorenzo Carcaterra: "A body slam of a first novel."

Andrew Vachss: "Ian Spiegelman's powerhouse debut illuminates a subculture so dedicated to anesthetics that it seeks pain to see if they really work. Ugly truth, beautifully written."

The Washington Post: "gritty realism [and] understated poignancy."

The San Francisco Chronicle: “Filled with frenetic characters, disturbing portrayals of the loneliness at the heart of modern suburbia, and writing as taught as it is evocative.”

Welcome to Yesterday

	Time Out New York - “The heart of this novel is a dark, original voice that rings true in its perfect blend of ennui and humor. The dialogue, too, is superb. WELCOME TO YESTERDAY often recalls the fiction of Raymond Chandler, Ernest Hemingway, and Joan Didion, but Spiegelman builds on those forebears to create something entirely new.”
