Third Class Superhero
Charles Yu, Hardcover$35.00 $29.75
In stock, new
Charles Yu experiments with form and genre to explore the stories we tell ourselves while navigating contemporary life. In “Third Class Superhero,” a would- be good guy must come to terms with the darkness in his heart. A couple living in the Luxury Car Commercial subdivision in “401(k)” are disappointed when their exotic vacation turns into a Life Insurance/Asset Management pitch. The author struggles to write the definitive biography of his mother in “Autobiographical Raw Material Unsuitable for the Mining of Fiction.” In these and other stories, Yu’s characters run up against the conventions and parameters of their artificial story lines while tackling the terrifying aspects of existence: mothers, jobs, spouses, the need to express feelings. Heartbreaking, hilarious, smart, and surprising, “Third Class Superhero “marks the arrival of an impressive new talent.
