Description

Moisture Man, the hero of "Third Class Superhero", is tired of watching his former classmates kick ass and claim their secret hideouts while he struggles to maintain his good-guy accreditation.

Someday soon he'll have to decide whose side he's really on, and how far he's willing to push the panels of his storyline.

Meanwhile, in "401(k)", a young, upwardly-mobile couple attempt to navigate their way through a world of pure advertising, with hopes of attaining the Pretty Good Life. And in "The Man Who Became Himself", a successful executive is terrified to find himself becoming trapped inside his own body.

Through these eleven stories, Charles Yu explores issues of identity, time and being in an age of dislocation.

Heartbreaking, hilarious, smart, surprising, Third Class Superhero marks the arrival of an impressive new talent.
