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.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"A farce with guts and truth that aims for the heart."--Kirkus
"Burns zooms through the comic action scenes and slyly reveals what's truly at stake: two people learning to see themselves and their problems as merely ordinary. It adds up to a charming metaphorical love story."--Publishers Weekly
"Those who stick with Anna Burns' hectic, stream-of-consciousness writing, not dissimilar to that of Eimear McBride or Flann O'Brien, are more than rewarded. Her writing has been described as 'point-blank poetry, ' and rightly so." --Irish Independent
"Anna Burns is part of a movement of new and established female Belfast writers."--Adrian McKinty, Irish Times
