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 more like real life than anything Hemingway or any naturalist ever put to paper."

Film appearances
Hoenigman appeared as a giant in the film Attack on Titan (2015).
