We should be upfront here: We met Josh Lieb , the author of I Am a Genius of Unspeakable Evil and I Want to be Your Class President , a few weeks ago, and we think this YA novel is maybe the most brilliant illustration of the Oedipus complex in the entirety of Western literature. And the promotional video at the book's official website is pretty damn funny, too (including a 'suprise' guest star)....
