I’ve been a fan of David Goodwillie’s writing since his first book, the memoir Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time, which is set in 1990s New York. The memoir covers the author’s years as a minor-league baseball player, private eye, and Sotheby’s auction house expert, all part of his journey to become a writer. When he finally gets a break, he ends up being chased by the Mafia for publishing an article about them. It also offers a broader look into NYC in a bygone gilded age. So when I heard DG was coming out with a novel I was excited. It’s published in April and it covers some very different (as well as similar) terrain as the memoir, and it’s incredibly imaginative. I reviewed American Subversive for The Faster Times.
