“Engrossing. . .Goodwillie is a terrific and observant writer.”
David Goodwillie is the author of the novel American Subversive, and the acclaimed memoir Seemed Like a Good Idea at the TIme. He has also played professional baseball, worked as a private investigator, and been an expert at Sotheby's auction house. A graduate of Kenyon College, he lives and works in New York City.
"An astonishingly entertaining book about ... hell, the price of ambition? The vagaries of love? The essence of youth? Sure, all of those things, and a few dozen more, wound together brilliantly in a rollicking tale that is laugh-out-loud funny and, somehow, fiercely poetic. A wondrous debut."
– Stephen J. Dubner, co-author of Freakonomics
