{"product_id":"drnaso-nick-beverly-9781770462250","title":"Beverly","description":"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 façade 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.","brand":"Drawn and Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":54548522697046,"sku":"9781770462250-V","price":9.79,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53245314662742,"sku":"9781770462250-G","price":8.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781770462250_1_f87f19cc-032c-4eae-949e-bea8f5330f7f.jpg?v=1784113298","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/drnaso-nick-beverly-9781770462250","provider":"momox","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
