Dark-humored tale by cult writer Chuck Palahniuk features three actors preparing to participate in a historic porn shoot, gradually revealing their interesting backstories through conflicting perspectives.
I couldn't decide if I was too old or too young to read this aggressively outlandish, adult story featuring rape, incest, child molesting, murder, suicide, and not one but two unlikely incidents of corpses being sexed back into life.
That being said, I liked Palahniuk's writing style, and he is briming with ideas. I could see how he has drawn such a following from Fight Club forward, and I would--cautiously--approach another of his novels. Interesting for (very discriminating) readers.
I listened to a good audio book version on loan from Morrison-Reeves Library. I kept it under a towel on the back seat in case anybody glimpsed the cover through the windshield!
