Twenty-one stories you'll never forget--just try--from literature's favorite transgressive voice and the bestselling author of the generation-defining classic Fight Club "Few contemporary writers mix the outrageous and the hilarious with greater zest." --Newsday Chuck Palahniuk, literature's favorite transgressive author, gives us twenty-one stories and one novella in
Make Something Up, 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; and 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.
