Sobre IBD

ALVIN HANDELMAN’S LATEST NOVEL, The Case Record, is full of smart, wonderful material. 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 suffers from a heavy-duty savior complex. Do his first clients, the Garcia family, use this to get what they want? And does Celeste Garcia, smart and beautiful, really love this guy? -Adam Prince, author of The Beautiful Wishes of Ugly Men

  • 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 ... Many of Handelman’s characterizations are so sharply sketched and offbeat and vivid that these people seem to stroll across the page, and we never forget them.   --Adrian Van Young author of The Man Who ...
