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":"Default Title","offer_id":44214739042559,"sku":"9781932360134","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781932360134_s600x595.jpg?v=1782319556","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781932360134","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
