{"product_id":"beverly-tpb","title":"Beverly  | TPB","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eSynopsis:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNick 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtists \u0026amp; Writers:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(W\/A\/CA) Nick Drnaso\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Drawn \u0026 Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43655912161471,"sku":"0523DQ907","price":48.28,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/1689\/8751\/files\/0523DQ907.jpg?v=1725605651","url":"https:\/\/www.popweasel.co.nz\/products\/beverly-tpb","provider":"Pop Weasel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
