It was the only time in my life I could wear underwear on the outside of my jeans and get away with it. I had just been introduced to superman, and he left quite an impression. Somehow, Superman allowed me to throw all caution to the wind. I never thought about how I looked or what people thought; it didn't matter. I was wearing white underwear? over jeans! I think I need Superman in my life again.
It's Superman!
A Novel
By Tom De Haven
6 x 9 in; 384 pp ;
Hardcover
The world's most popular and enduring super hero and acclaimed novelist Tom De Haven come together to create the extraordinary It's Superman! -- a novel that reinvents the early years of the Man of Steel. Opening with the young Clark Kent on a date, the novel takes an entirely fresh approach to the emergence of his superpowers and the start of his newspaper career, following him from rural 1930s Kansas across america to Hollywood in its golden age, and then to New York City. He meets a worldly Lois Lane and conniving political boss Lex Luthor, and begins his battles against criminal masterminds, mad scientists, and supervillains inspired by fascists. Sure to appeal to fans of the TV show Smallville and the novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, as well as devoted comic book readers, It's Superman is a fun and fast-paced novel of thrilling invention, heroic escapades, ill-fitting costumes, and super-sized coming-of-age angst.
Tom De Haven is the author of eight novels, including the Derby Dugan trilogy, hailed a "wild ride" by the Boston Globe and "brimming with life and characters" by the New York Times Books Review. A frequent contributor to Entertainment Weekly and the New York Times, he lives in Virginia.
