Description
Robert Rodi, renowned for his wickedly rollicking tales of homophobia, is back with a new novel that asks the burning question: Is the world ready for its first lesbian superhero? Brian Parrish, a brash gay cartoonist, is charged with updating the image of Princess Paragon, a creaky heroine whose market share is expressed in decimals. His solution: Change her hairdo, stream-line her spandex, and haul her out of the closet.
It's a blockbuster idea sure to make Brian famous and attract a whole new reader- ship. But for one devoted fan, it's an abomination. What happens next is a scheme that involves an African-American feminist lesbian editor, a malaprop-spouting mother, and a lover who's absent without leave. Abounding in high camp, low farce, and ferocious wit, this scathingly funny novel establishes Robert Rodi as one of the most blistering and brilliant satirists of his day.
