About this product
Product Information
A remarkable debut novel-given extraordinary life by its amalgam of energy, raw authentic language, and, at the core, a surprising gentleness. It tells the story and speaks in the voice-at once innocent and too knowing for his age-of Antietam (Andy) Brown, named for the great-great-great- grandfather who died on that Civil War battlefield.Product Identifiers

Reviews"A dark and violent, funny and sweet coming-of-age story." The Atlanta Journal-Constitution "It makes you laugh so hard sometimes it makes you cry. . . . Tietam Brown announces the coming of a promising novelist of the American obscene." Chicago Tribune "Rollicking, violent, and sometimes uproariously funny. . . . Frighteningly readable." -Los Angeles Times Book Review "Tietam Brown is a disturbing coming-of-age story filled with gut-wrenching violence that makes the soulful musings of Holden Caulfield seem unbearably saccharin and ridiculously over-privileged by comparison." Baltimore Sun "[Foley] has found a ring of truth in the world of books. . . . he has created a work of fiction that is part grotesque, part noir and part cautionary tale on the evils of bad parenting." Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "Surprisingly moody. . . . Marked with brilliant imagery and a dark, yet melodic, story." Pittsburgh Live "Compulsively readable. . . . [Foley] knows how to weave an intriguing if somewhat offbeat tale." Library Journal "Tietam Brown is both entertaining and disturbing, both a coming-of-age novel and a mystery of character, both funny and tragically sad." Charlotte Observer "Tietam Brown, a strange mix of J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye and Bret Easton Ellis' American Psycho, is definitely not for the faint of heart. . . . [A] sad and disturbing tale." Bookpage From the Trade Paperback edition., "A dark and violent, funny and sweet coming-of-age story."
