With writing that feels halfway to mysticism, like a blurting, flowing down from a mystic who also happens to be incredibly funny. This book squints in the bright light of reality and moves with the tidal pull of how we are haunted and how we haunt ourselves, what washes up and gets in our way, restricts our movements (or creates how we dance around what is disconcerting or inexplicable to us). It's exciting, dry, and bright in its humour and unlike any literary voice I've ever read.” — Jenny Slate, author of \u003ci\u003eLifeform\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLittle Weirds\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Told via the intersecting stories of several characters, \u003ci\u003eSuper Castle Fun Park\u003c\/i\u003e offers perspectives on themes such as grief, personal growth, sexuality, and connection in ways that range from sardonic and humorous to more emotionally resonant, often shifting between the two in quick succession ... there is much here to reward the keen and attentive.” — \u003ci\u003eBC Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n \n \u003cdiv class=\"grid__item large--one-half review\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“\u003ci\u003eSuper Castle Fun Park\u003c\/i\u003e is a refreshing and innovative novel that defies categorization. Weaving multiple perspectives and toggling between the IRL and URL, Zomparelli paints a picture of modern life that is bleak, moving, scary, and darkly funny — often all within the same sentence. The connective tissue between all of it is the desire to connect and evade loneliness. It's a deeply human and original work and, like all great art, it made me feel less alone.” — Ryan O'Connell, author of \u003ci\u003eJust by Looking at Him\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eInspiration Porn\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“I've been waiting for a novel from Daniel Zomparelli since reading his short stories, poetry, and the queer horror anthology he co-edited, so I could not be more thrilled with this new book \u003ci\u003eSuper Castle Fun Park\u003c\/i\u003e! Daniel's books are funny and weird and bizarre, full of odd characters who defy categorization, but through all the quirkiness, we end up with connection and understanding. Not since Miranda July's \u003ci\u003eNo One Belongs Here More Than You\u003c\/i\u003e have I felt such a strong affinity for the characters of a book and their circumstances. Read this book for all the emotions.” — Mary-ann Yazedjian, Book Warehouse and Black Bond Books (for The Booksellers' List, CIBA)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zomparelli, Daniel","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":44800039583859,"sku":"9781770419278","price":29.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/2207\/files\/9781770419278.jpg?v=1776692260","url":"https:\/\/ecwpress.com\/products\/super-castle-fun-park","provider":"ECW Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
