{"product_id":"9781635901375","title":"Castle Faggot","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"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 décor. 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 weirdand beautiful parallel universe\"--\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Semiotext (E)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48222945149163,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":29.2,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781635901375-1.jpg?v=1781695057","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781635901375","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
