In his new collection “Write Something”, Chuck Palahniuk does what he does best—he delights and shocks the reader by mixing emotions however he pleases. Here we’ll meet a former stripper, an elderly party-goer, an enthusiast virologist, an afflicted cancer patient in despair, and a sex-obsessed schoolboy—dozens of characters, both grotesque and realistic, as if spawned by a sick imagination of would-be, failed writers from Palahniuk’s novel “Ghosts.”
Juggling every kind of genre and taboo subject, satire and brutal teasing with just a touch of lyricism—everything is here!
