  • York in Chains
    Alvin Handelman
    York in Chains is a fascinating story about a historical character whose life has rarely been told-and never in such a unique and creative way. Handelman is a skilled storyteller and his descriptions in many places are staggeringly vivid. This novel was so compelling I looked forward every morning to diving in again.  -Louella Bryant is the author most recently of Sheltering An...

There’s an intelligent writer behind this narrative, a writer both full of hubris and humility at different periods in his life.  --Luella Bryant, author of the novel Beside the Long...

  • Devil’s Den Breakdown
    Alvin Handelman
    Devil’s Den Breakdown is a bitingly satirical, darkly tinged, well-written ... and by turns rompishly and puerilely funny novel that calls to mind the work of Philip Roth ...

  • The Case Record
    Alvin Handelman

Handelman has created a touchingly naïve character in Sam Peters, a newbie Caseworker at the Bushwick, Brooklyn, Department of Welfare. In addition to its fraught love story, the novel does the brave, important thing of homing in on white privilege. Though Sam Peters is Jewish, he still suffe...

  • Tricentennial
    Alvin Handelman
    'Tricentennial is a fast read. Handelman’s writing is crisp and clean and confident. He’s funny and smart. I feel like I’m in the hands of a pro all the way through. Reminds me of the work of Philip Roth and Tom Robbins. That same brand of humor and intelligence, and a thread of barely bridled mania.' -TJ Beitelman, author of 'C...

  • The Silence of Anne Aulis and Other Stories
    Alvin Handelman
    'Each time I came in, I saw her. She was always reading the New York Review or a book, coffee and a croissant at hand. She sat up straight, regally, her shoulders back. How old? I couldn’t tell. Finally, one day, she looked up and smiled as I sat down. She was a lovely woman. . . .' - from The Silence of Anne Aulis and Other Stories 3 ...
