Summary:
"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 McCormack'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 decor. 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 McCormack'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."--Publisher.
