Mccormack Derek - Castle Faggot - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: A dark satire about an amusement park more deranged than anything Disney could imagine: a playland for gay men called Faggotland. Castle Faggot is Derek Mc Cormack's darkest and most delicious book yet a satire of sugary cereals and Saturday morning cartoons set in an amusement park more deranged than anything Disney dreamed up. At the heart of the park is Faggotland a playland for gay men and Castle Faggot the darkest dark ride in the world. Home to a cartoon Dracula called Count Choc - o - log the castle is decorated with the corpses of gays some were killed some killed themselves all ended up as d cor. The book includes a map of Faggotland a photobook of the castle the instructions for a castle - shaped dollhouse and the novelization of a TV puppet show about Count Choc - o - log and his friends reminiscent of the classic stop - motion special Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer but even gayer and more grotesque. As scatological as Sade but with a Hanna - Barbera vibe Castle Faggot transmutes Mc Cormack's love of the lurid and the childlike of funhouses and sickhouses into something furiously funny: as Edmund White says the mystery of objects the lyricism of neglected lives the menace and nostalgia of the past these are all ingredients in this weird and beautiful parallel universe.
