Reviews
A kaleidoscopic look at a world of cheap furbelows and carnival flash, a place where childlike wonder goes hand in hand with cruel cynicism, and where even the promise of heaven appears as tawdry as an eyeshadow case., Grab Bag culls the best of the perverse and innocent world of Derek McCormack. 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., The first U.S. outing for the sexy, edgy Canadian novelist, steered your way by the gratifyingly dark-souled Dennis Cooper., Every once in a while, however, I'll find a novel . . . which serves as a reminder that there is relevance and substance out there. Derek McCormack's Grab Bag is one of these rare gems., Anyone interested in the more wicked, crafty and inventive forms of Canadian writing would be well advised to spend time with McCormack., McCormack's prose is . . . remarkably and deceptively simple. Grab Bag grabs you in its steely grip almost without you noticing, and the hard, plain language delivers the stories straight to the core of your being.

- a***a (609)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseArrived well within the time frame given and safely given the long journey from the USA (the ebay international shipping process has always worked very efficiently in my experience) and the figure was very well packaged. Santa Claus is a great looking figure and everything in the description was accurate. Very good value too. The seller took the time to measure the height of the figure for me which I really appreciated. Great overall experience. Many thanks.Nightmare Before Christmas Santa Claus Diamond Select Toys Tim Burton (#156674882674)
