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."
