A disgraced intergalactic superhero, struggling writer and teenage girl all narrate an epic tale that seamlessly blends postmodern literary fiction with YA, sci-fi, fantasy, autobiography, mythology and more. A lyrical rumination on the mysteries of love, loss, remembrance and regret, The Superhero Memoirs unfolds like a house of mirrors, a Russian nesting doll of a story, to take the reader on an incredible journey that blurs the boundary between fiction and reality, traversing the universe, the very fabric of time itself, from modern-day Manhattan to the realm of the gods, from the far reaches of space to the back streets of Hollywood, from a post-apocalyptic future to the halls of high school. Captain Cosmos, Christian and Molly each spin a dizzying web of intersecting tales that take many different forms - chronicle, short story, screenplay, novelette, play - all illuminating the universal connection between our dreams...our stories...and our lives. Publisher's note: this edition has been reformatted and revised, and includes additional content.
