Product Information
Sunday's father is dying of cancer. Her mother and her brother are both devastated. But devastated isn't good enough. Devastated doesn't fix anything. Sunday has a plan. She's started recording everything her father says. His boring stories. His stupid jokes. Everything. It's all important. Because Sunday is writing a computer virus. A computer virus that will live secretly on the hard drives of millions of people all over the world. A computer virus that will think her father's thoughts and say her father's words.

Reviews
"Graceful images, scenes and dialogue blossom, meaning Malagash rings with authentic emotion. . . Comeau gives readers a spare novel that feels real when it counts." -- Toronto Star, "Graceful images, scenes and dialogue blossom, meaning Malagash rings with authentic emotion...Comeau gives readers a spare novel that feels real when it counts." -- Toronto Star, "Comeau's style is sparse but powerful....Malagash is a darkly humored exploration of death, family, and grief, eloquent despite its short 183 pages, devastating despite its simplicity. Highly recommend." -- BumbleBookBee blog, "Comeau resists sentimentality, and, given his subject matter, that's no small feat..." -- Publishers Weekly, "Known primarily for darkly comic novels and the webcomic A Softer World , Comeau effortlessly switches gears to expose the trauma, heartbreak, and humor in loss. . . an immensely touching tribute to a very human struggle with mortality." -- Publishers Weekly "A spare, ice pick-sharp look at coping with death. . . A fine fable for all smart readers." -- Library Journal "Graceful images, scenes and dialogue blossom, meaning Malagash rings with authentic emotion. . . Comeau gives readers a spare novel that feels real when it counts." -- Toronto Star " Malagash offers a contemporary narrative about grief and the complex emotional struggle it engenders . . . Comeau creates his own kind of virus with his prose, something I haven't been able to shake off since reading." -- Strange Horizons " Malagash is a poignant snapshot of the wonder, joy, sorrow, and reckless daring of being alive. With it, Joey Comeau cements his place among Canada's most talented and original writers. I loved this cleverly tender and unforgettable heartbreak of a book and I know you will too. A Monster Calls for a plugged-in age." -- Courtney Summers, author of This Is Not a Test and All the Rage "Comeau's style is sparse but powerful. . . . Malagash is a darkly humored exploration of death, family, and grief, eloquent despite its short 183 pages, devastating despite its simplicity. Highly recommend." -- BumbleBookBee blog, Praise for previous works: On Overqualified "There have been spoof letter-writing books in the past, like 'The Lazlo Letters' by Don Novello (a.k.a. Father Guido Sarducci) and several that followed. While the protagonist in 'Overqualified' is just as unhinged as his predecessors, he's significantly less giddy. A real story unfolds in these pages, about a departed brother and the sibling left behind. It's sad and fragmented and, in places, funny. This slender epistolary novel is charming." Los Angeles Times A collection of wry, clever and demoniacal job-application letters, teeming with knife-edged malice and stomach-tearing hilarity. . . . Overqualified successfully deludes the fear of the faceless corporate entity by empowering the faceless applicant who has nothing to lose except securing a job he or she probably doesn't want. If Comeau's rebel-yell manifesto catches on like old Prometheus's gift did all those years ago, human resources will never be the same again." Globe and Mail One of the season's most remarkable books. Macleans On One Bloody Thing After Another Canadian author Comeau, best known for his darkly surreal Web comic, A Softer World , turns his adaptable talents to overt horror in this oddly touching novel of ghosts, friendship, bloody secrets, and family relationships. . . . A staccato structure allows for surprising intricacy in so few pages, and the crescendos of terror are leavened by moments of unexpected humor and warmth. Publishers Weekly "The tone is poignant, sometimes wistful, and deadpan funny . . . The novel is more eccentric than gory, and what's really shocking about it is that all the mayhem is finally about family ties, both severed and reconnected." Booklist On The Complete Lockpick Pornography [Joey] has a well-deserved reputation for cheerfully deranged work, borne out by this pair of thematically linked stories." Publisher's Weekly "Comeau is unmistakably a provocateur, though his literary ambitions extend beyond simple provocation... The Complete Lockpick Pornography , a collection of two thematically linked novellas, is both gleefully and constructively subversive." Winnipeg Review ", "Known primarily for darkly comic novels and the webcomic A Softer World, Comeau effortlessly switches gears to expose the trauma, heartbreak, and humor in loss...an immensely touching tribute to a very human struggle with mortality." -- Publishers Weekly, " Malagash is a poignant snapshot of the wonder, joy, sorrow, and reckless daring of being alive. With it, Joey Comeau cements his place among Canada''s most talented and original writers. I loved this cleverly tender and unforgettable heartbreak of a book and I know you will too. A Monster Calls for a plugged-in age." -- Courtney Summers, author of This Is Not a Test and All the Rage "Known primarily for darkly comic novels and the webcomic A Softer World , Comeau effortlessly switches gears to expose the trauma, heartbreak, and humor in loss. . . an immensely touching tribute to a very human struggle with mortality." -- Publishers Weekly "Graceful images, scenes and dialogue blossom, meaning Malagash rings with authentic emotion. . . Comeau gives readers a spare novel that feels real when it counts." -- Toronto Star " Malagash offers a contemporary narrative about grief and the complex emotional struggle it engenders . . . Comeau creates his own kind of virus with his prose, something I haven''t been able to shake off since reading." -- Strange Horizons " Malagash is a unique take on death in the digital age. Comeau presents a forthright yet eloquent story about life, death, and what we leave behind. Highly recommended." -- Atlantic Books Today "Witty and poignant. . . It perfectly captures the all-too-relatable feeling of dealing with loss. . . Comeau''s fragmented sentences and short chapters provide a darkly humorous yet thoughtful read -- one that will leave you feeling melancholy long after you''re done." - THIS Magazine " Malagash is an unexpected little book, a slim novella by Joey Comeau, full of wit and punch and wisdom. . . Comeau''s writing is pithy, and filled with flashes of delight and sadness. The characters, even when overheard from a distance, inspire affectionate and knowing smiles from the reader. Malagash lets air and light - and laughter - into the room of grief." - Scene Magazine "A glimpse into Sunday''s family was all it took for me to be invested in this pre-teen girl and her introspective journey through the pain of a parent''s illness." - CanadianLiving.com "The biggest strength of this novel is the way Comeau masterfully develops the relationship between the family members . . . As with his previous novels, Comeau''s prose is masterfully simple. In simple words and short sentences, he conveys big emotions." -- Cultured Vultures "Comeau''s style is sparse but powerful. . . . Malagash is a darkly humored exploration of death, family, and grief, eloquent despite its short 183 pages, devastating despite its simplicity. Highly recommend." -- BumbleBookBee blog "Comeau resists sentimentality, and, given his subject matter, that''s no small feat . . ." -- Publishers Weekly "A spare, ice pick-sharp look at coping with death. . . A fine fable for all smart readers." -- Library Journal "It''s an escape for these characters that is explored to touching effect by Comeau''s tranquil, lyrical prose...Comeau''s novel lingers with its small pithy truths, its big pithy truths and all the stuff in between." -- The Coast "[A] sly and affecting novella . . . Mr. Comeau grasps a crucial truth that the most important characters in fiction about death are the survivors, and this book ends not with visions of the deluge but the promise of the rainbow sign." -- Wall Street Journal , Best New Fiction "A glimpse of Sunday''s family was all it took for me to be invested in this preteen girl and her introspective journey through the pain of a parent''s illness." - Canadian Living "Original, tender, and tightly-written, Malagash is funny and smart, but also deeply moving." - Open Book "Giving us a glimpse into small town Nova Scotia, Comeau''s story of a teenage girl who refuses to accept her father''s impeding death is beautifully crafted and darkly funny." - CBC Books, "Malagash is a poignant snapshot of the wonder, joy, sorrow, and reckless daring of being alive. With it, Joey Comeau cements his place among Canada's most talented and original writers. I loved this cleverly tender and unforgettable heartbreak of a book and I know you will too.
