Author Event: "My Boyfriend, the Superhero" by Kylie Cheung, with Anna Iovine and Kat Tenbarge

8:00 PM • Wednesday, November 11, 2026Book Club Bar BushwickFree

A reading and conversation with Kylie Cheung, author of My Boyfriend, the Superhero, in conversation with Anna Iovine and Kat Tenbarge. 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. By turns erotic and deranged, My Boyfriend, the Superher o is a feminist psychothriller that courts ambiguity in this era of increasing surveillance and police violence. [ ABOUT THIS EVENT : The rear of the store will be used exclusively for this event. The front bar will be open to the public for drinking & chatting. Book browsing will remain open.]
