A proposito di questo titolo

Brought to you by Penguin.


They’ve never met, but this is the way it is supposed to be: they belong to each other.
Lonely college student Minnie feels invisible until she stumbles upon HOURglass: America’s new K-pop boyband obsession. Soon she is memorising the lyrics to every song and staying up late to watch their livestreams, hoping that her favourite member, bad-boy Halo, will see her in the comments.
On the other side of the screen, Halo is also becoming addicted to the adoration from his fans, using their love to paper over the cracks of the tragic past he is determined to keep hidden.
It’s a perfect love, until Minnie is drawn to a shadowy fan community who believe they need to protect the band members from a dark conspiracy. As Minnie becomes increasingly determined to discover the secrets that Halo is keeping, the line between fandom and obsession begins to blur.
But if the truth comes out, could either of them survive it?

Recensioni della critica

SUPERFAN riveted me. I was a frog being boiled as Zhang pulled me page by page into the book's orbit, with writing that is deceptively perceptive, yearning, and engaging all at once. SUPERFAN is not only an insightful examination of the all-encompassing natures of fandom and stardom, it's a story about ultimately learning to feel whole. (Rachel Khong, New York Times bestselling author of Real Americans)
As catchy, appealing, and achingly tender as a boy band's hit ballad, Superfan dazzles and captivates, while raising vital questions about fandom, celebrity, and the performance of self. Jenny Tinghui Zhang captures the complexities of emerging adulthood in all its tenuous glory.
Superfan was addictive and seductive. It perfectly captures the loneliness of youth, the allure of online community, and the dangers of obsession. I read it and immediately wanted to recommend it to all of my friends.
Breathtaking and heartfelt, SUPERFAN is a cosmic collision of two fractured lives pulled into each other’s orbit through an astonishing series of events. With an eye for both the personal and the universal, Zhang reveals how the past and present versions of ourselves can never be outrun—with consequences as devastating as they are redemptive. SUPERFAN doesn’t just redefine the fan-star relationship, it explodes it from the inside out.

Zhang swerves from her breakout Wild West-set debut, 'Four Treasures of the Sky,' to a more
contemporary subject: a lonely, Chinese American college freshman in 2010s Texas who forges
an intense parasocial attachment to a K-pop-style boy band. (And those boys, as a parallel
narrative shows, are facing emotional turmoil of their own.)

Between the Taylor Swift effect, BTS fever, and the rise (and rise) of Heated Rivalry, fandoms
are having a moment—making it the perfect time to dig into Jenny Tinghui Zhang’s alternately
heartrending and thrilling new novel.

Jenny Tinghui Zhang’s compelling novel smartly explores interconnected themes of loneliness,
connection, and obsessive fandom…Superfan is a touching modern coming-of-age story.

Achingly relatable…Zhang pulls at the troubled threads of what it means to be and to have
admirers from a brightly colored quilt of internet-informed contemporary fiction… Zhang
punctuates chapters with numbered posts from that world, internet snippets convincingly riddled
with fan fiction terms and forum keywords illustrating the peculiar, at times perilous, position of
fans among their idols…Superfan ponders what it means to be a fangirl and decides that it’s
bigger, always, than the boys themselves.
