In his debut essay collection, Nicholas Belardes uses today's pop
culture and self-deprecating humor as a filter for discussing
personal stories of family, writing, gender, art, and race. He
dives into the Harry Potter play and discusses his cursed childhood
home. He tells coming-of-age tales of Dungeons & Dragons and
blames Stranger Things for jogging those hilarious memories. In
great detail he describes how working for a cheesy Las Vegas
animation company meant everything to a relationship with his dad.
And he presents an unpopular artistic argument for how Tyrion
Lannister of Game of Thrones may have ruined his life as a writer
(not really). He gives you Star Wars and its weird connections to
the Catcher in the Rye (as well as artistic expectations in
education). In an essay about race he presents virtual universes,
cowboy images of his racist dad, and odd choices of identity in
Ready Player One. He even provides a layman's guide for how to
introduce someone to Star Trek while at the same time telling us
that what we mimic might not be good for us. He also discusses
miscommunication in the world in relation to writing the first
original Twitter novel, Small Places. And finally, he describes how
American numbness negatively affects the world of art. Belardes
presents a side of our humanity working in tandem with pop culture.
It isn't always pretty, though it is hopeful, sometimes funny, and
full of promise.
