Reviews
"Can a person with a tattoo have a soul? To judge from a broad swath of contemporary fiction, the answer would seem to be no. . . . It's refreshing, then, that David Goodwillie's very good new novel, Kings County , depicts such people with genuine, unmitigated sympathy and good-fellowship, as if, in spite of their fashionable lifestyles, they are as fully human as anyone else. . . . Goodwillie is also a stylish writer, smart and witty without being a show-off. . . . It makes for a suspenseful read. After the first chapter or two, the pages of Kings County begin to turn quickly." --Adelle Waldman, New York Times Book Review "Dazzling writing, propulsive storytelling, relevant and timeless characters--that's exactly what David Goodwillie has accomplished in Kings County . He's created a true urban tableau, at once gritty and hopeful. Kings County crystallizes how it feels to be young and in love in New York City." --Stephanie Danler, author of Sweetbitter "Goodwillie has the anthropology of New York down. In Kings County , young professionals struggle to find their moral compass as they test the limits of their relationships under the glare of city lights, and suffer the dramatic effects of their past and present decisions. He weaves suspense around a dark, page-turning mystery that stays palpable to the end, and his confident--and often comedic--narrative hand allows him to seamlessly fold in contemporary events and generate a necessary social document for this new age of unenlightenment." --Matthew Thomas, author of We Are Not Ourselves " Kings County is a heart-wrenching love story, a character-driven suspense novel, and a lush thrill-ride through the New York City aughts. For some of us who lived in Brooklyn at the turn of the century, it's a meticulous period piece that doesn't sacrifice immediacy for the nostalgia it provokes. For those who didn't, it's a scintillating glimpse into the zeitgeist that followed 9/11--the music, movements, and sense of impending upheaval that foretold our chaotic present." --Melissa Febos, author of Abandon Me "Goodwillie captures the rapturous soul of a bygone Brooklyn: the songs, the sex, the bars, the youth! And then the churn of relentless change, the broken hearts, the crushing realities. But it is the searing burn of discovery that makes Kings County a true and continual delight." --Joshua Ferris, author of Then We Came to the End "Goodwillie pins his characters to the page with a lepidopterist's merciless affection--and then, by some trick of resuscitation, lets them fly in a Brooklyn that's a kind of darkly miraculous forest populated by charismatic and errant fauna. Kings County is a thrilling and persuasive read." --Joseph O'Neill, author of Netherland "With Tom Wolfean sociological precision, David Goodwillie casts an insider's eye on the Brooklyn creative class in a gripping novel as suspenseful as it is panoramic. Kings County is a grand, galloping ride." -- Teddy Wayne, author of Apartment "Goodwillie's setting is vivid and his characters rich, with flashbacks fleshing out their backstories. Those who like literary, character-driven fiction with a strong sense of place . . . will enjoy this coming-of-age story with elements of romance and mystery." -- Booklist, "Can a person with a tattoo have a soul?

Goodwillie''s writing is full of not only impressive detail and fondness, but also self-awareness. . . . The novel''s characterizations of people--from Brooklyn musicians to Upper East Siders--and the city itself are its biggest strength." --Kirkus "Goodwillie has the anthropology of New York down.

Synopsis
A Brooklyn love story, set to music: Kings County "crystallizes how it feels to be young and in love in New York City" (Stephanie Danler).It's the early 2000s and like generations of ambitious young people before her, Audrey Benton arrives in New York City on a bus from nowhere. Broke but resourceful, she soon finds a home for herself amid the burgeoning music scene in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. But the city's freedom comes with risks, and Audrey makes compromises to survive. As she becomes a minor celebrity in indie rock circles, she finds an unlikely match in Theo Gorski, a shy but idealistic mill-town kid who's struggling to establish himself in the still-patrician world of books. But then an old acquaintance of Audrey's disappears under mysterious circumstances, sparking a series of escalating crises that force the couple to confront a dangerous secret from her past. From the raucous heights of Occupy Wall Street to the comical lows of the publishing industry, from million-dollar art auctions to Bushwick drug dens, Kings County captures New York City at a moment of cultural reckoning. Grappling with the resonant issues and themes of our time--sex and violence, art and commerce, friendship and family--it is an epic coming-of-age tale about love, consequences, bravery, and fighting for one's place in an ever-changing world., A Brooklyn love story, set to music: Kings County "crystallizes how it feels to be young and in love in New York City" (Stephanie Danler).
