Description

FROM THE BOOKER PRIZE WINNER AND BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF MILKMAN Still eighty-two, still with fifty-seven bullets in her, still dying, and with a blood-trail resembling a post-structuralist anti-principle of a traditional abstracted countercomposition, she was softly cursing and willing herself not to die. Follow Hero the superhero as he saves the world from villains and falls in love with a femme fatale named Femme Fatale. Written by Anna Burns before she completed her dazzling Booker-winning novel Milkman, 'Mostly Hero' is a hilarious, witty, hell-raising romp through a world of superheroes. 'This crazy little nugget from the winner of the Booker prize for Milkman is a brutal satire of the superhero phenomenon. It ridicules the mindlessness of violence and the glorification of the same in popular culture, and that with a touch of feminism.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reader review 'Out of the ordinary, extraordinary. This is unlike anything.'⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reader review 'SOOOO WEIRD. SOOOO CRAZY. SOOOO BRILLIANT' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reader review
