Inhalt/Kritik

Kritik
Praise for Chuck Palahniuk andÿMake Something Up:


"Palahniuk doesn't write for tourists. He writes for hard-core devotees drawn to the wild, angry imagination on display and the taboo-busting humor."
The New York Timesÿ
ÿ
"Palahniuk is a bracingly toxic purveyor of dread and mounting horror. He makes nihilism fun."
Vanity Fair

Palahniuk displays a Swiftian gift for satire, as well as a knack for crafting mesmerizing sentences."
San Francisco Examiner

Few contemporary writers mix the outrageous and the hilarious with greater zest.
ÿ Newsday

"Few authors have captured the pathologies of modern life quite like Palahniuk."
Rocky Mountain News

Chuck Palahniuk is one of the most intriguing writers of our time.
Tucson Citizen

"For the first time, Palahniuk collects his short stories, which feature his signature humor, horror, and grit. [The] other stories deal with fire, bodily fluids, malfunctions, critiques of material society, bestiality, a bewitched tennis ball, and a murder at a Burning Man-type retreat. The collection is essential for Palahniuk fans and will likely win him some new ones."
Publishers Weekly

"Palahniuk comes roaring back from a stretch of experimentalism with 23 tales celebrating his ongoing affection for the macabre... Pathos and panic and penitence from one of the darkest and most singular minds in contemporary American lit."
Kirkus Reviews

"Even as you likely suffer debilitating motion sickness from the jarring emotional turns on every other page, you ll be inescapably restrained by an author who knows exactly what he s doing and has you right where he wants you.ÿPalahniuk s uniquely modern style throws out any antiquated conventions that could keep him from destroying any expectations that keep you in complacent narrative comfort."
