The troubled, insomniac narrator's obsession with Tyler leads to a harrowing conclusion.Publisher's NoteThis underground classic first published in 1996 tells the darkly funny story of a god-forsaken man who discovers that his rage at living in a world filled with failure and lies cannot be pacified by an empty consumer culture.Industry Reviews"A volatile, brilliantly creepy satire filled with esoteric tips for causing destruction....Along with instructions for executing...quirky acts of urban terrorism, 'Fight Club' offers diabolically sharp and funny writing."Washington Post Book World - Karen Angel (12/01/1996)"Palahniuk is a vivid writer. The fractured distance of his language evokes a landscape in which the connections have broken down."Los Angeles Times Book Review - Charlotte Innes (08/18/1996)Additional Information about Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk (2000, Paperback)Industry Reviews"Weaknesses aside, SURVIVOR offers much to admire. Palahniuk displays a Swiftian gift for satire, as well as a knack for crafting mesmerizing sentences..."San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Andrew G. Roe (03/07/1999)Additional Information about Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk (1999, Paperback, Reissue)Publisher's NoteWhen a freeway "accident" leaves a beautiful fashion model disfigured and incapable of speech, she seeks to reinvent herself and her world, along with her new friend, Brandy Alexander, a transvestite who is one operation away from becoming a real womanIndustry Reviews"...[T]his book is worth reading at least as a breath of fresh air in the all-too-often stale precincts of the crime genre."Boston Book Review - Gary S. Kadet (03/01/2000)"Chuck Palahniuk's stories don't unfold. They hurtle headlong, changing lanes in threes and banging off the guard rails of modern fiction. This time he has really done it. Incredibly, INVISIBLE MONSTERS makes the author's jarring first novel, FIGHT CLUB, seem like a leisurely buggy ride....It's Palahniuk's least successful effort to date, yet there are more than enough moments of insight to recommend INVISIBLE MONSTERS. Just not in polite company."San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - James Sullivan (09/12/1999)Additional Information about Choke by Chuck Palahniuk (2002, Paperback, Reprint)SynopsisVictor works as a guide at a colonial village, where he must stay in 18th-century costume. He moonlights as a con artist. His mother is in a nursing home, and in his spare time Victor visits her and listens to her stories about the good old days when she and his father--whom Victor never knew--were in and out of jail. Then she begins to imply that Victor was conceived by means of a miracle involving the sacred foreskin of Jesus. What's Victor to believe?Industry Reviews"His subversive riffs conjure a kind of jump-cut cinema of the diseased imagination, resulting in an outlandish allegory that is as brutally hilarious as it is relentlessly bleak."Book - Don McLeese "...CHOKE is an uneven but still raw and vital book, punctuated with outrageous, off-the-wall moments that work as often as not. If the author's adolescent urge to shock is...facile..., his wickedness is something to reckon with as well."New York Times - Janet Maslin (05/24/2001)"Palahniuk is a cheerful nihilist with a mordant wit and a taste for scatological humor. Fair warning: some may find his language and imagery offensive."Kirkus Reviews (03/15/2001)============================================================================================= Shipping to U.S. addresses will by Media Mail (upgrade to Priority Mail available upon request and payment of extra cost).
