Description
Twenty one stories and one novella from Chuck Palahniuk, literature’s favorite transgressive author, Make Something Up is a compilation that disturbs and delights in equal measure. In “Expedition,” fans will be thrilled to find to see a side of Tyler Durden never seen before in a precursor story to Fight Club. And in other stories, the absurdity of both life and death are on full display; in “Zombies,” the best and brightest of a high school prep school become tragically addicted to the latest drug craze: electric shocks from cardiac defibrillators. In “Knock, Knock,” a son hopes to tell one last off-color joke to a father in his final moments, while in “Tunnel of Love,” a massage therapist runs the curious practice of providing ‘relief’ to dying clients. Funny, caustic, bizarre, poignant; these stories represent everything readers have come to love and expect from Chuck Palahniuk. You’ll never forget them. Just try.

"Palahniuk has an astounding talent for creating a gripping yarn that also has folkloric weight. . . . in the best stories, a conjunction of zaniness, horror and sentiment propels you beyond disbelief into the space inhabited by good comic books, or by authors such as Rabelais and Burroughs . . . a writer at the height of his powers." ―The Guardian (UK)"[Palahniuk's] observances of the modern world [are] always pithy and amusing. . . . this collection is amusing, insightful and wickedly funny." ―The Register (UK) "Twisted, funny, disturbing." ―Miami Herald"In the same way [the] groundbreaking [Fight Club] functioned as a dangerously prescriptive commentary on modern isolationism, many of the stories in Make Something Up feel a little like modern parables, with characters taking on animalistic or blatantly villainous qualities to remark on everything from greed to relationships to racism. Thanks to Palahniuk's original and often shocking prose, the stories contain enough humor and raw emotion to draw the reader in. . . . These certainly are stories you can't unread. . . . you'll find yourself wanting more." —The Kansas City Star |
