Joey Goebel

Adam Joseph Goebel III (born September 2, 1980) is an American author, whose work centers around the peculiarities of culture in Middle America.

Goebel attended Brescia University in Owensboro, Kentucky, where he received an English degree with an emphasis in professional writing.

Torture the Artist was the finalist for the 2004 Kentucky Literary Award and made the long list for the Dylan Thomas Prize for 2006.

The band played about one hundred shows throughout the Midwest (many in Evansville, Indiana) and released two cassette tapes, a seven-inch EP record, and three compact discs.

[4] Novembrists songs were a bit darker and had a few more literary allusions, such as Vladimir Nabokov ("My Sweet Lolita") and F. Scott Fitzgerald ("All the Sad Young Men").

Goebel's protagonists are intelligent rebels, sensible madmen, and rejected dreamers disgusted by a society that embraces boy band media and girl glam.
