Details
Kylie Cheung turns the superhero genre on its head in this dark, feminist exploration of power, policing, and violence.
A breed of newly arrived superhumans form an elite team that patrols and supposedly protects the world, keeping ordinary inhabitants safer. But criminology researcher Dr. Elisabeth Atwood disagrees, and after personal tragedy strikes, she becomes the face of a movement exposing the dangers of the superheroes’ unfettered power.
When Elisabeth finds herself in a near-death experience only to be rescued by the super-team’s charismatic front man, Kendall, the allure of the forbidden draws her into a steamy affair as unlikely as it is obsessive. Each time Elisabeth tries to end the relationship, she finds herself caught in a string of supposed accidents that insinuate Kendall back into her life. At first, it’s uncanny; then suddenly, it isn’t. It doesn't take long for Elisabeth to realize she’s been entrapped; what takes a little longer is figuring out how to free herself—and the extent to which that’s what she desires.
By turns erotic and deranged, My Boyfriend, the Superhero is a feminist psychothriller that courts ambiguity in this era of increasing surveillance and police violence.
