- "Goodwillie's American Subversive reads like the unholy spawn of Tom Wolfe and F. Scott Fitzgerald. It has all the white-knuckle pleasures of the political thriller--combined with a thoroughly postmodern love story. He has an insider's feel for New York's too-knowing new-media culture, and a writer's eye for its emptiness."
-- David Gates, author of Jernigan - "A new voice has entered the city--youthful, wise, and with an enthralling story to tell. Goodwillie's rendering of an American woman seduced by radicalism skillfully examines the enduring themes of our lives: politics, media, loyalty and love."
-- Gay Talese, author of A Writer's Life - "American Subersive is a searing portrait of failed idealism and social unrest. Brilliantly plotted and compulsively readable, Goodwillie's debut novel asks one to reexamine the nature of political action and private life. Unforgettable."
-- Danielle Trussoni, author of Angelology - David Goodwille's writing is explosive, engaging and captivating. American Subversive will jolt you out of your seat. After reading this powerful thriller you'll be looking over your shoulder, and down forested lanes, worried what's out there.
-- Ridley Pearson, author of Killer Summer
