Joey is fed up with sitting down to write the same old job applications, covering up his own mistakes, and spinning lies that he doesn't even want to believe himself. He no longer recognizes himself in the slick persona that shines through his applications, and when his brother is hit by a car and fights for his life, Joey has had enough. He takes stock of everything that seems to be going wrong in the world and writes in his letters candidly and unabashedly about his own life. Joey declares war on the internet, shares his most embarrassing sex story with Greenpeace, and demands a game from Nintendo that reflects real life. It quickly becomes clear that it's no longer just about getting a job. In his epistolary novel "Overqualified," Joey Comeau explores themes of physical closeness and psychological distance, his childhood, and more.
