Books by Edward Maxwell

No parents. No rules. No life above ground. Ian has a lot to think about. Rex Rose says, "Think Woodchuck manages to resurrect the Southern Gothic in such a genuine and unexpected way that readers may not realize Mr. Maxwell has pulled off the significant coup until the final dark shovelfuls of the novel. Few authors get so comfortably inside of a character's insanity - his first-person narration compares favorably to Knut Hamsun's Hunger, Joyce Carol Oates' Zombie, or the uncomfortably intimate voices of Dennis Cooper's psychopaths. Like Hesse's Steppenwolf on the set of Gummo, Think Woodchuck follows Ian, a touched high-school kid in a Southern town, as he experiments with Geophagy and tunnels under the terrain of the soul to find his solution." --Rex Rose, author of Toast
