"I loved" Joyland". Tammy Lane is the most convincing child
protagonist I've encountered in years, a cross between Lynda
Barry's Marlys, and Judy Blume's truth-seeking missile, Margaret."
"--"R. M. Vaughn, "National Post"
"Like a Reagan-era" Ice Storm", Emily Schultz's novel "Joyland
"captures the confusion of adolescent sexuality in a tangle of
pixillated icons via the video-game generation. Set in the summer
of 1984, this book will have you thinking twice about the
video-game generation and the power of pining and Pac-Man." "
--Flare"
"Schultz's latest is a satire of office life, romance novels, and
afterlife narratives. She has accomplished something quite
remarkable here, deftly juggling all this social commentary and a
rather blandly sympathetic protagonist with a sharp command of
language." "--Publishers Weekly "on "Heaven Is Small"
"This is recommended reading, nostalgic technicolour at its
sharpest. "Joyland "maps a believable world that depicts the grit
and glitz of teenaged life in the small-town 1980s." "--Matrix
Magazine"
