REVIEWS

“Palahniuk channels old Hollywood in this homage to Billy Wilder's classic film Sunset Boulevard….Hilary Huber's pitch and pronunciation are inspired by the great actresses of the 1930s and '40s. Her arch voice recalls the smoky tones of cigarette tapping screen stars, and her raspy narration is chilling.”—Publishers Weekly (audio review)

“At his best, Palahniuk punctures our collective psyches with sharp darts of satire, subversion, and surprise….Palahniuk stages some stunning scenes and pens some bawdily hilarious lines….some of the set pieces resemble the scathing satire of a young William S. Burroughs.”—Booklist

“Palahniuk still has considerable linguistic firepower and satirical humor…”—Library Journal

“As the cult master of high-concept fictional subversion, the prolific Palahniuk (Pygmy, etc.) has his typical fun here…with the author having great sport with the wordplay that once filled the columns of Walter Winchell, Hedda Hopper and the like.”—Kirkus Reviews

CHUCK PALAHNIUK’S bestselling books are Pygmy, Snuff, Rant, Haunted, Lullaby, Fight Club, Diary, Survivor, Invisible Monsters, and Choke.
