B uffalo News , 2/10/13 " Poseur is a marvelous spin through 90s New York.It is a truly moving study of a disappeared New York.[Spitz] is a needle-sharp, self-deprecating writer with pop culture coursing through his veins.This is criticism and memory merged, and it's funny, beautiful and wise.It is the music memoir as art."  PopMatters.com, 2/22/13 "Think of Spitz's Poseur as the Life of rock memoirs, with less Stones and more typewriters. Spitz is a rare find: the self-aware bad boy, the articulate addict, the earnest punk, the wastoid with an excellent memory.

This is an entertaining read for music lovers and '90s fetishists and fans of addiction narratives, sure, but it's also meant for those who enjoy learning everything about a person without expecting anything more. It's a portrait, masterly and self-contained, and you have to be satisfied with the portrait alone." BackstageAxxess.com, 3/5/13 "[A] fascinating piece of history.It's reflective, funny, thought-provoking and at times sophomoric in its use of dick humor, and it works." Blurt.com, 3/6/13 "A fun read.[with] amusing behind-the-scenes anecdotes.

" Village Voice, 3/12 "Part Gen-X love letter, part snapshot of the final glory days and collapse of the record industry and old media.in a tone that falls somewhere between Philip Roth and Lena Dunham." You're Beautiful New York "It's a riveting, bleak tale, exactly like the late nineties."  Time Out New York , 5/13/13 "Spitz captures the Lower East Side in its last days of authentic grittiness in this memoir.".
