Overview: The titular work of Carnivalesque, And: Other Stories is not a story at all, but a novella, and concerns the Rabelaisian exploits of one Efim Barnum Bank Zaslavsky — a Russian-Jewish carnival exhibitionist — and his anachronistic, wandering gypsy caravan as they pursue a potentially non-existent wolf, and peddle the wares of their particular breed of sideshow throughout contemporary Japan.However, the many pieces which bookend Carnivalesque are just as phantasmagoric in their content as they are in their execution: we bear witness to an alternative Ireland whose empires of progress have devolved into a feudal shōgunate of thieves and bureaucrats; we trace a prodigal son’s melancholy return to the leafy climes of suburban Melbourne; we observe an underwater scuffle in the control room of a submarine at a depth of 130 feet; we accompany the author and his family on an emotionally cathartic trip to the beach, and in the process are introduced — of course — to Jesus Christ, J.D. Salinger, a Native Canadian named Blue Bluff Crow, the President of the United States of America and the spectre of Death.Whores, celebrities, scoundrels, butchers, swindlers, painters, ghosts, marine biologists, lumberjacks, dwarves, mermaids, bogmen, and a professional boxer in metamorphosis are just a few of those populating the pages of this stylistically carnivalesque vision into a world familiar to us all, but at one stage removed. This is a rich, riotous world of heartbroken sinners and first-time saints.Praise for Kirk Marshall and Carnivalesque, And: Other Stories:Diabolically verbose, Carnivalesque: And, Other Stories is a joyous, demented orchestra of prose. Reading it is like being pulled into an intoxicating Japanese fug, and you'll sometimes wonder whether Marshall has, indeed, drugged you. These aren't stories for people with short attention spans (and you might not always understand what is happening), but pull the pages close: there is gold to be found in amongst this ensemble cast of misfits. — Benjamin Law, author of The Family Law Kirk Marshall is a gifted wordsmith, a writer's writer, and the Australian bearer of the tradition of the Beats. Like his forbear, Jack Kerouac, his prose lands like a flurry of punches, and you read him in a happy daze, words sparkling and fading like fireworks, jumping with vitality. Every story in this collection counts big. — Patrick Holland, Miles Franklin Award-longlisted author of The Mary Smokes Boys Carnivalesque: And, Other Stories is a giddy, vertiginous whorl of comic absurdities embroidered in a baroque, Melvillean prose that pushes syntax to its very limits — a healthy dose of literary nitrous oxide that could only issue from Marshall’s delightfully warped, sesquipedalian talent. — Emmett Stinson, author of Known Unknowns Donald Barthelme's banter, Kenneth Patchen's dialect, Alfred Jarry's sense of occasion — all converging to track a lone surviving wolf dwelling in the vast forests of Hokkaido, a vastness only exceeded by the immensity of Marshall's imagination. — David F. Hoenigman, author of Burn Your Belongings Kirk Marshall has perfected "Carnie Fiction" with this offering of bold, sentimental, incendiary and comic prose. As we all line up outside the circus of new fiction, Kirk Marshall has cut to the front of the line. — Trevor Richardson, author of American Bastards "Carnivalesque" is perhaps the perfect word to sum up Kirk Marshall's writing. Like a fireworks display, it gives the impression of chaos and hypercolour, but is in fact instead a meticulously planned and executed feat of skillful timing and untethered imagination. It's safe to say you'd have to traverse innumerate carnivals before you'll find anything quite like this collection. A great work. — Christopher Currie, author of The Ottoman Motel Reading Carnivalesque, And: Other Stories is more akin to witnessing astounding feats of live performance, in all their frenetic glory. Marshall uses language to craft his imagery with all the skill of an acrobatic contortionist. This collection is sheer literary bravado! — Amy Barker, author of Omega Park Carnivalesque, And: Other Stories offers the reader pages of fine language surfeit with stark startles of description and a compelling obliquity of circumstance/setting. — Joshua Cohen, author of
