Works
Hoenigman's novel, Burn Your Belongings, has been described as "a brave exercise in anti-narrative, a reminder to us that there is more to writing and reading than best-sellers."
Word Riot compared the novel to the work of Samuel Beckett and Pierre Guyotat, summarizing the novel as "a well-crafted and adventurous book from what is undoubtedly a writer of great promise."
In a Rain Taxi interview, Hoenigman explains that Burn Your Belongings was an experimental work in the sense that he had no idea what the outcome would be: "I had some theories and some things I wanted to try, and I just let it fly from there. . .[the artistic result is] my attempt to present this chaos in a manageable form, like a piece of music."
His excerpts have appeared in Red Leaves / 紅葉, Smokebox, Zygote in My Coffee, SNReview, and Literate Machine.
Hoenigman is currently working on his second novel, Squeal For Joy, forthcoming from Jaded Ibis Press.
