Praise for Chuck Palahniuk and Make 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 Times
"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.”
—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. Palahniuk’s uniquely modern
style throws out any antiquated conventions that could keep him
from destroying any expectations that keep you in complacent
narrative comfort."
—Booklist
