Superworse - The Novel A Remix of Superbad:

The original McSweeney's Superbad comprised more than two dozen pieces in various genres from serious fiction to post-modern satire to lyric. This new edition reconceives Superbad emphasising that the individual pieces are intricately related to one another, as movements in a symphony or gears in clock-work. It seeks to become a 'remix' of the original in the fashion of popular music rather than simply a paperback edition. So that while Superbad was a humour collection in the finest McSweeney's tradition, Superworse is a novel in the spirit of Borges and Barthelme.

Ben Greenman is an editor at The New Yorker; his work has appeared there as well as in Nerve, McSweeney's, The Paris Review, Mississippi Review, and Elysian Fields, and he has been widely anthologized. Born in Chicago, he grew up in Miami and now lives in Brooklyn, NY
