{"product_id":"9781932360134","title":"Superworse - The Novel","description":"By: Ben Greenman     \u003chr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Greenman’s mind may contain 'a Russian short story writer, a slap-stick gag writer, an art critic, a literary critic, a cultural commentator, a cowboy, a satirist, a scientist . . . a surrealist, a nut, and genius . . . a child prodigy . . . and a poet' (Susan Minot).\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe original \u003ci\u003eMcSweeney’s\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSuperbad\u003c\/i\u003e comprised more than two dozen pieces in various genres from serious fiction to post-modern satire to lyric. This Soft Skull edition will reconceive \u003ci\u003eSuperbad\u003c\/i\u003e with an eye toward its overall architecture, emphasizing that the individual pieces are intricately related to one another, as movements in a symphony or gears in a clockwork. Onge, the [fictitious] editor who introduced \u003ci\u003eSuperbad\u003c\/i\u003e, will oversee the paperback, allowing a clear set of themes and characters to emerge from the welter of styles. The book is tightly constructed, with a mirror-image arrangement and many characters, not all human, threaded throughout. Rather than conceiving this project simply as a paperback edition, the release is more like a remix, in the fashion of popular music. \u003ci\u003eSuperbad\u003c\/i\u003e was a humor collection in the finest \u003ci\u003eMcSweeney’s\u003c\/i\u003e tradition; \u003ci\u003eSuperworse\u003c\/i\u003e is a novel in the spirit of Borges and Barthelme.","brand":"Soft Skull","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46415050735843,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9781932360134","price":83.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9781932360134.jpg?v=1748755656","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/en-mo\/products\/9781932360134","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
