'David Shapiros Supremacist, a new novel about a New Yorker obsessed with the cult clothing brand Supreme, offers a fresh, strangely affecting critique of American consumerism....[Shapiro] takes back the knife of consumerism and makes of it something wild and strange, imperfect, terrible, disturbing, unpredictable, mutable, at once lovely and unbearable.' THE NEW YORKER
In a way, it's like a Millennial Annie Hall, but instead of depicting a couple falling in and out of love, the book is the author's love letter to the one thing his feelings have never wavered about, even though the thing he finds meaning in doesn't love him back. VICE
