{"product_id":"9781770462250-beverly","title":"Drnaso Nick - Beverly - Paperback","description":"Binding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\nDescription: Nick 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 fa ade of Drnaso's pitch - perfect surburban sprawl and pasty Midwestern protagonists cracks in the face of violence and quiet brutality. Drnaso'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.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Beverly\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Drnaso Nick\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Drawn And Quarterly\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781770462250\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 136 Pages, Colour Illustrations Throughout\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 1\/26\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Graphic Novels","brand":"Drnaso Nick","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49623129030961,"sku":"IN-G-9781770462250","price":20.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781770462250.jpg?v=1724776757","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781770462250-beverly","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
