NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the bestselling author of the generation-defining classic Fight Club comes a powerful (and hilarious) novel about the addictive power of sex, the terrors of aging, the ugly truth about historical theme parks, and much else ...

“Sheer, anarchic fierceness of imagination . . . [A] raw and vital book.” —The New York Times


Victor Mancini, a medical-school dropout, is an antihero for our deranged times. Needing to pay elder care for his mother, Victor has devised an ingenious scam: he pretends to choke on pieces of food while dining in upscale restaurants. He then allows himself to be “saved” by fellow patrons who, feeling responsible for Victor’s life, go on to send checks to support him. When he’s not pulling this stunt, Victor cruises sexual addiction recovery workshops for action, visits his addled mom, and spends his days working at a colonial theme park. His creator, Chuck Palahniuk, is the visionary we need and the satirist we deserve.

Eleştirmen yorumları

Praise for Chuck Palahniuk:

"Palahniuk is one of the freshest, most intriguing voices to appear in a long time. He rearranges Vonnegut's sly humor, DeLillo's mordant social analysis, and Pynchon's antic surrealism (or is it R. Crumb's?) into a gleaming puzzle palace all his own."
--Newsday

"Palahniuk displays a Swiftian gift for satire, as well as a knack for crafting mesmerizing sentences that loom with stark, prickly prose and repetitive rhythms."
--San Francisco Examiner

"Even I can't write this well."
--Thom Jones

"Palahniuk's language is urgent and tense, touched with psychopathic brilliance, his images dead-on accurate....[He] is an author who makes full use of the alchemical powers of fiction to synthesize a universe that mirrors our own fiction as a way of illuminating the world without obliterating its complexity."
--L.A. Weekly

"Maybe our generation has found its Don DeLillo."
--Bret Easton Ellis

Audiobook: Even though the monotone style of the narrator fits the book well, I ended up returning this title. Tried first to just listen while strolling but had to pick the book up quickly.

Book: I decided to take a chance with a genre I usually don’t read, and it took a while before I realized what was going on. It had some laugh out-moments and it got better as the story went on.

Monotonous
