Аннотация
Charles Yu experiments with form and genre to explore the stories we tell ourselves while navigating contemporary life. In "e;Third Class Superhero,"e; 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 "e;401(k)"e; 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 "e;Autobiographical Raw Material Unsuitable for the Mining of Fiction."e; In these and other stories, Yus 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.
