Transcription

Content

The novel flashes back and forth between the character Gunn's drug-addled, sexually abusive adult life, and his life among his childhood friends. Furthermore, we see the lives of Gunn's childhood toys—from Rom, Spaceknight to the Fisher-Price Little People, who seem to have lives and thoughts of their own outside Gunn's world.

Reception

A positive review in The Austin Chronicle states that The Toy Collector "satirizes both Seventies melodrama and Nineties cynicism as Gunn barrels through life looking for beauty and love. But every page in this novel has something to laugh at and something sad to remember, and it's better than anything you'll see on TV."[1]

Background

Although Gunn started as a novelist after he began working in the film industry,[2] he became much more successful as a screenwriter with films such as Dawn of the Dead (2004), and as writer-director, in particular with Slither and the Guardians of the Galaxy.
