Pimping Spaceman

Spaceman Blues is officially out in the world and the Publicity emails are bouncing around the office pointing us to...

Brian Slattery's
interview on The Leonard Lopate Show -- where Brian is compared to Pynchon, Robbins, and Marquez. (I've been listening to Lopate for over a decade and was very excited to hear Brian on his show.)

And, a full page
review in this week’s Village Voice. "Slattery should really be considered alongside NYC homeboys like Lethem and Shteyngart, the former for his loving tweaks of vintage pulp...the latter for his sharp immigrant comedy."

It’s been a while since I read the book in its manuscript form but it still holds a strong place as one of my favorite books in a long while.

You can read the first chapter on Brian's website.
