Get the Society Literaturemug. A GCSE (General Certificate of Education) that you can take in school.

The new field of "urban-edge literature" is a huge success not only with inner-city youth, but also with the whitebread kids of the 'burbs. It resonates strongly with the tone of today's youth: hip, edgy, vigorous. It's "two-dimensional hip-hop."
