| Publisher Description: In Jason Heroux's disquieting third novel, Owen lives an enjoyable suburban life with his wife, Lila, until a knock at the door brings him face-to-face with a past he didn't know he had. The sudden revelation forces him to reconsider where he's from, what he is, and where he's going. Owen finds himself on a non-stop rollercoaster ride of awareness and doubt, hurtling through the days and nights of an ordinary world with extraordinary highs and lows. Filled with flammable reality, stuffed with a dream-soaked rag, then ignited and tossed at the here and now, Amusement Park of Constant Sorrow is a spirited, thoughtful novel that challenges our relationship with our society, our cosmos, and ourselves. |
