"When has geezerhood been handled so appealingly? . . . A true American hero is born." Albert Goldbarth, National Book Critics Circle Awardwinning author of Saving Lives
Meet Oldguy: your regular aging superhero whose powers have dwindled over the years, and whose very mechanics are seriously fizzling. In seriocomic misadventures, Oldguy valiantly attempts to continue his former heroism in a somewhat wry version of Faulknerian endurance, defeating his enemies time and againif not through superhuman abilities, then at least by "outliving the sons-a-bitches." With its comic book-style illustrations, Oldguy inhabits a space all to itselfnot strictly a poetry collection, not quite a graphic novel, but a hybrid sure to delight.
"An exhilarating read that I didn't want to put down except to laugh and to shake my seventy-eight-year-old head in admiration." Ron Koertge, author of Shakespeare Makes the Playoffs
