Synopsis

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.

Knock Knock - Starts this collection off in true Palahniuk fashion. This tale of a man telling jokes at his dying father's bedside, and reminiscing about their past is full of sentimental pathos - but is also guaranteed to have you cringing in discomfort. Eleanor - The main point of this piece seems......more

Goodreads review by Lynx on February 09, 2017

It's been awhile since I've enjoyed a Palahniuk book. Huge fan of his early stuff but I found myself getting more disappointed with every new book he published until I gave up completely. On a whim, I decided to give him another chance, hoping he'd maybe gone back to his roots and was extremely happ......more

Goodreads review by Peter on June 02, 2016

Haha! I finished this one year to the day after I bought it! Every person I tell that, they say "How do you know?" Because I used the purchase receipt as a bookmark, fuckers. Do not question me. I mean, it's pretty fair to question me when it comes to dates, times, and whatnot, but when it comes to n......more
