The provocative and mind-bending new novel from the bestselling author of Fight Club and Haunted.
Rant takes the form of a (fictional) oral history of Buster “Rant” Casey, in which an assortment of friends, enemies, admirers, detractors, and relations have their say on this evil character, who may or may not be the most efficient serial killer of our time.
Buster Casey was every small kid born in a small town, searching for real thrills in a world of video games and action/adventure movies. The high school rebel who always wins – and a childhood murderer? – Rant Casey escapes from his hometown of Middleton into the big city and becomes the leader of an urban demolition derby called Party Crashing, where, on designated nights, the participants recognize each other by dressing their cars with tin-can tails, “Just Married” toothpaste graffiti, and other refuse, then look for special markings in order to stalk and crash into each other. It’s in this violent, late-night hunting game that Casey makes three friends. And after his spectacular death, these friends gather the testimony needed to build an oral history of his short life. Their collected anecdotes explore the charges that his saliva infected hundreds and caused a silent, urban plague of rabies . . .
Expect hilarity and horror, and blazing insight into the desperate and surreal contemporary human condition as only Chuck Palahniuk can deliver it. He’s the postmillennial Jonathan Swift, the man to watch to learn what’s – uh-oh – coming next.
Excerpt from RANT:
Wallace Boyer (Car Salesman): Like most people, I didn’t meet and talk to Rant Casey until after he was dead. That’s how it works for most celebrities, after they croak their circle of close friends just explodes. A dead celebrity can’t walk down the street without meeting a million best buddies they never met in real life.
Dying was the best career move Jeff Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy ever made. . . .
The way Rant Casey used to say it: Folks build a reputation by attacking you while you’re alive–or praising you after you ain’t.
从后半部分开始神作。超级、超级、超级、超级棒!
评分特别希望这部改电影

评分强撑着看了一半…先马一下…不知道能不能看完
评分Fight club让我初识一个作家化戾气为能量的才华,而Rant带我见证了同一个作家深厚的历史功底和悲天悯人的情怀。都说后现代力求偏离中心、解构意义,可是作者嬉笑怒骂的背后还是难掩深情。唯有真爱,才能吐得一口好槽。这些离经叛道的才子,其实和往圣先贤们一样渴望清明澄澈的世界,没有阴谋,没有血泪。可是青山遮不住,毕竟东流去。于是他们披上犬儒的外衣,红巾翠袖揾英雄泪。
