Overqualifieder

Description

Everyone who has ever sent a job application letter has felt the urge, the temptation to say what they really think. To say something completely insane. With 2009's Overqualified (ECW, also available), Comeau acted on those urges and delivered a book collecting his cover letters. But even after the dozens of insane, hilarious and sometimes strangely sad job application letters, he still didn't get the job. So he's at it again. But he's had to step things up. Were the letters not insane enough? There's only one way to find out: Overqualifielder.

Joey Comeau writes the comic A Softer World, which has appeared in the Guardian and been profiled in Rolling Stone, and which Publishers Weekly called "subtle and dramatic." He is the author of a number of books, including Overqualified, The Complete Lockpick Pornography, and One Bloody Thing After Another, and the Bravest Warriors comic book series. Joey lives in Toronto, Ontario.

"Life is about stories, and Overqualifieder is filled with some great ones. The book is wildly creative and uncensored, straddling the line between hilarious and disturbing. Comeau is a clever and inventive writer, and you'll be hard-pressed not to have a literary crush on him by the end of his book." -- The Gauntlet
