Joey Comeau Livres

"Sunday's father is dying of cancer. They've come home to Malagash, on the north shore of Nova Scotia, so he can die where he grew up. Her mother and her brother are both devastated. But devastated isn't good enough. Devastated doesn't fix anything. Sunday has a plan. She's started recording everything her father says. His boring stories. His stupid jokes. Everything. She's recording every single "I love you" right alongside every "Could we turn the heat up in here?" It's all important. Because Sunday is writing a computer virus. A computer virus that will live secretly on the hard drives of millions of people all over the world. A computer virus that will think her father's thoughts and say her father's words. She has thousands of lines of code to write. Cryptography to understand. Exploits to test. She doesn't have time to be sad. Her father is going to live forever."--

Overqualified's cover letters are like a slap in the face, but the slap is hilarious, and you can't stop laughing, and as soon as it's over you want to tell all your friends about the slap. You know the kind? — Ryan North, Dinosaur Comics "Joey Comeau's Overqualified is Judy Blume’s Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret as chewed up and spit out by J. G. Ballard... A book whose melancholy is leavened by a surprising hilarity.” — Paul Di Filippo, author of The Steampunk Trilogy and CosmocopiaCover letters are all the same. They're useless. You write the same lies over and over again, listing the store-bought parts of yourself that you respect the least. God knows how they tell anyone apart, but this is how it's done. And then one day a car comes out of nowhere, and suddenly everything changes and you don't know if he'll ever wake up. You get out of bed in the morning, and when you sit down to write another paint-by-numbers cover letter, something entirely different comes out. You start threatening instead of begging. You tell impolite jokes. You talk about your childhood and your sexual fantasies. You sign your real name and you put yourself honestly into letter after letter and there is no way you are ever going to get this job. Not with a letter like this. And you send it anyway.

Er zertrümmert Fernseher, bricht in Häuser ein, crasht High-schoolparties, schlitzt vor Kirchen Reifen auf, boxt einem Paris- Hilton-Double in die Magengrube und ruft mitten in der Nacht Leute an, um ihnen zu erklären, dass Gender nur Konstruktion und Illusion ist. Kein Zweifel, dieser junge Mann ist zornig. Aber selten zuvor wurde über einen zornigen jungen Mann auf so saukomische Art und Weise erzählt wie hier: Cartoon- und Muppetfiguren werden zwangsgeoutet, es wird erklärt, dass Cola Leute schwul macht und warum blonde Asiaten kanadische Pornos ruinieren. Während man über die Abenteuer des Helden lauthals lacht, spürt man dennoch die Verzweiflung, die ihn antreibt und fühlt sich in dieser Hinsicht ein wenig an den großen Don Quixote erinnert. Als unser Held den Sohn des fundamentalistischen Dr. Verge kidnappt, hat der Spaß allerdings ein Ende … So hochkomisch Lockpick Pornography ist, so intelligent stellt Joey Comeau darin Fragen zu Gender, Familienwerten, Min-derheiten und Moral. Heiligt der Kampf für den Zweck jedes Mittel? Braucht es eine Gender-Guerilla, um „die Sache“ voranzubringen?
