Edited quotes, "Chuck Palahniuk's world has always been, well, different from yours and mine. In his first collection of nonfiction, Palahniuk brings us into this world,
and gives us a glimpse of what inspires his fiction. At the Rock Creek Lodge Testicle Festival in Missoula, Montana, average people have public sex acts on an outdoor stage.
In a mansion once occupied by The Rolling Stones, Marilyn Manson reads his own tarot cards. Across the country, men build their own full-sized castles and rocketships that
will send them into space. Palahniuk himself experiments with steroids, works on an assembly line by day and as a hospice volunteer by night, and experiences the brutal murder
of his father by a white supremacist. This collection from Palahniuk is an eye-opening look at the raw material that goes into his fiction, as well as proof that the novelist's art is
derived from keen observation and recording details. Often these stories are as grotesque as a closeup in a horror film. Half the essays are magazine assignments and include
insightful profiles of Marilyn Manson, indie-movie queen Juliette Lewis, and a highschooler who wants to explore space with a homemade rocket. Chuck's shares impressions on a
demolition derby, life aboard the USS Louisiana, and a group of wrestlers enduring Olympic tryouts. Palahniuk often philosophizes, dwelling on the effects his fiction has had on
‘reality’, especially the obsession his fans have had with ‘Fight Club.’ Palahniuk is fixated on the transformation of life's raw material into fiction and the writing process itself, his fans
will undoubtedly revel in the secrets the author reveals..."
