Palahniuk Reviewed

Chuck Palahniuk's newest novel Snuff comes out Tuesday. Like his earlier novels Fight Club and Rant, it's tough stuff. Or as the Minneapolis Star Tribune says in its review of the novel, "Before discussing Palahniuk's ninth novel, Snuff, it's important to note that while the themes and style of his books are always interesting, sometimes brilliant, sometimes inane and always rightfully controversial, his work is so unendingly gross and explicit that gentle, easily offended souls should be forewarned."

But wait, there's more: "That said, Snuff is a spare and effective one-act play; a refreshingly simple tale told start to finish by a writer who often piles on the mind games and reverse chronologies."

Best of all, tickets are still available for Chuck Palahniuik's reading on Wednesday, May 21, at the Triple Rock Social Club. Stop in the store and get yours before they're all gone. Details are on our events page.--David E
