''Burn Your Belongings'' Hoenigman's novel, ''Burn Your Belongings'', has been described by ''The Japan Times'' 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." '' The Stranger'' writes "David Hoenigman's ''Burn Your Belongings'' is a dense narrative of choppy sentences that elude the human desire for story at almost every turn. When read aloud, mantralike, the thick walls of text take on the feel of religious chant, a prayer to weariness and sickness and anxiety. At other times, they flutter with moments of happiness and love, and feel exponentially m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Shozin Fukui
is a Japanese film director and screenwriter. He has produced three experimental shorts (''Metal Days, Gerorisuto'', and ''Caterpillar'') and two full-length films ('' 964 Pinocchio'', and '' Rubber's Lover''). These movies (excluding ''Metal Days)'' were widely available, having been issued on DVD by Unearthed Films. However, these releases have since gone out of print. He has released four more films since then (''Onne'', '' Den-Sen'', '' The Hiding'' and '' 『S-94』''). These are almost completely unknown outside Japan. ''964 Pinocchio'' and ''Rubber's Lover'' are considered important, core films of the Japanese cyberpunk genre. ''964 Pinocchio'' is often compared to Shinya Tsukamoto's cyberpunk classic '' Tetsuo: The Iron Man''; Fukui worked on the crew for Tetsuo. Many fans and critics consider Fukui's aesthetic to be sufficiently divergent from Tsukamoto's for his films to stand on their own, even considering the extremely deep similarities.

Excerpted in many print and online magazines, his work has won a Notable Stories in ''StorySouth''s Million Writers Award, and been nominated four times for the Pushcart Prize. Earlier books (to 2000) In his first novel, ''Our Plague (A Film from New York)'' (1993), the protagonist is an underground filmmaker alienated from his own body, disgusted by his own careerism, and awash in apocalyptic visions.

The story in the brief ''The Walls Collide as You Expand, Dwarf Maple'' (1993) seems almost desiccated: a young woman grows up, meets a man on a train, and lives with him in ...
