{"product_id":"beverly-nick-drnaso","title":"Beverly - Nick Drnaso","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNick Drnaso’s comics mercilessly reveal the sterile sameness of the suburbs. Connected by a series of gossipy teens, the modern lost souls of Beverly struggle with sexual anxieties that are just barely repressed and social insecurities that undermine every word they speak. A group of teenagers pick up trash on the side of the highway-flirting, preening, and ignoring a potentially violent loner in their midst. A college student brings her sort-of boyfriend to a disastrous house party with her high school acquaintances. A young woman experiences a traumatic incident at the pizza shop where she works and the fallout reveals the racial tensions simmering below the surface. Again and again, the civilized facade of Drnaso’s pitch-perfect surburban sprawl and pasty Midwestern protagonists cracks in the face of violence and quiet brutality. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDrnaso’s bleak social satire in Beverly reveals a brilliant command of the social milieu of twenty-first century existence, echoing the black comic work of Todd Solondz, Sam Lipsyte, and Daniel Clowes. Precisely and hauntingly recounted, each chapter of Beverly reveals something new-and yet familiar-about the world in which we live.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eType: Paperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition: Great condition, general wear and tear\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMarks\/Annotations: None\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePage count: 134 pages \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"litsy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54089823781163,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/1001\/0155\/files\/9_6398b0ea-4abd-4c57-aa4e-b4bfae104956.png?v=1783488843","url":"https:\/\/lit-sy.com\/products\/beverly-nick-drnaso","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
