Joe Gosh

Description

It was a typical day in Wonder City. Joe Gosh was stuck. No job, no money, no girl, not much of a place to live, and no real prospects. Vicky Zomba, the love of his life, wouldn't look twice at him. Her mother wanted to make him a zombie. When his credit ran out he'd be sent to Mars to be a miner. He didn't want to go to Mars. What he needed was a sense of direction, an idea of what to do with his life. What he got was a bundle of junk mail that appeared out of thin air. And that gave him the idea. It was a terrific idea. He's become famous. He's make a lot of money. He'd have job security. Vicky Zomba would go out with him. It would solve all his problems. Joe Gosh was going to be a superhero. In JOE GOSH, Tom De Haven, author of the acclaimed novel FUNNY PAPERS, which The New York Times Book Review called "evocative and fun," looks at the reality of superpowers in a truly crazy way.
