Is Superman Circumcised? wins oddest book title of the year award

Study of the superhero’s Jewish influences beats off stiff competition to come first in this year’s Diagram prize

www.theguardian.com

The title, which follows in the footsteps of former winners including How to Avoid Huge Ships and The Big Book of Lesbian Horse Stories, sees author Roy Schwartz explore the creation of the “Mensch of Steel” by Jewish immigrants Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Schwartz argues that Superman’s origin story is based “on Moses, his strength on Samson, his mission on the golem, and his nebbish secret identity on themselves”, and that Krypton’s society is based on Jewish culture.

The Bookseller’s managing editor Tom Tivnan said: “Following on from 2019’s champ, The Dirt Hole and its Variations, and 2020’s A Dog Pissing at the Edge of a Path: Animal Metaphors in Eastern Indonesian Society we’ve seen once again that Diagram voters are pulled to titles that are just wee bit naughty.”

“The competition was stiff, but I’m glad I was able to rise to the challenge,” said Schwartz.
