In Supremacist, a character named David smokes, drinks, pop pills, and has awkward sex. The most compelling elements, though, are his pilgrimages to the Supremes. -THE FADER <p/>David Shapiro's new book Supremacist is, in theory, about all six Supreme storefronts, but, it reads like an age-old story about someone taking a journey and finding themselves along the way. This time, there's just a lot more box logo tees. -COMPLEX <p/>The book is as much an analysis of Supreme's position in culture and commerce as it is a story about millennial obsession, insecurity, and ennui. Which makes it sound depressing - but it isn't, really. -DAZED MAGAZINE <p/>Supremacist marks Shapiro's second full-length foray into semi-autobiographical fiction. This time around, the fictionalized narrator embarks on a streetwear odyssey: David and Camilla, a collegiate friend who could care less about streetwear, travel the world, visiting every Supreme store in the world. Along the way, Shapiro's narrator explains his obsession with the downtown streetwear imprint, while delving into substance abuse and Freudian collection fetishism, among many other things. -HYPEBEAST <p/>David Shapiro's Supremacist is a perfect modern novel, thin, funny and culturally acute. In the meta-manifesto from Tyrant Books, we accompany a failed writer caught in the emotional purgatory of being twenty-six on a wasted pilgrimage to every Supreme store in the world. -THE KIND<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>David Shapiro is the creator of the hit blog Pitchfork Reviews Reviews and The World's First Perfect Zine.
