Ludivine is the heroine of this postmodern novel. Superpower(s.) contains a screenplay within a novel. In this novel, Ludivine provides her commentary on the filming of her screenplay, which consists of her life in her own words. The action transports the reader in time and space, popping back and forth from the Nazis in WWII France in 1944 to the Pope in the Vatican, to more recent NYC fashion world and Pakistan. All it takes is a little superpower from Ludivine.
