It's 1984 and in the town of South Wakefield, 14-year-old Chris
Lane is sure that he can see the future, or at least guess what's
inside of Christie Brinkley's mind. Unfortunately, he can't foresee
the closing of Joyland, the town's only video arcade. As the arcade
fades from his life, Chris is forced to find a new source of
entertainment, and ends up getting more than he bargained for--a
summer of teenage lust and violence. "Joyland" is about the
impossibility of knowing the future, bringing the Cold War home in
a novel set to the digital pulse of video games and the echoes of
hair metal. Illustrations by Eisner Award winner Nate Powell head
up each chapter, and this new paperback edition includes an
alternate ending and an author interview that provides new insights
into this powerful piece of fiction.
