I liked this bookThis is a collection of true stories of very bizarre things that have occurred or occur regularly They are all as the old adage goes So strange they could only be trueIn the intro to this book Chuck Palahniuk even admits that he is something of a one trick pony He views everything in America as the following struggle We strive to be alone We fight our way to independence from our fellow human beings by pursuing whatever interest we have and then we get there and find ourselves lonely and must reacuaint with our fellow humans I agree with him this is the lense that he views everything through and it is getting annoying in his fiction literature But these stories these are true stories And I think that his writing style is very aptly applied to these stories and telling them Long story short Chuck Palahniuk s writing style is best applied to nonfictionI read this book because I was staying for a week on the Oregon coast with my family It seemed appropriate because Chuck Palahniuk is from portland Also this book seemed interesting

I wanted to like this way than I did as I love stories about the things and the people who occupy the margins of society Unfortunately many of the essays read like collections of notes rewritten as to form a cogent narrative but really lacked that certain something that makes them readable There were a few times I nearly dozed off during an essay never a good signHOWEVER There were two really wonderful pieces that I think made the whole experience worthwhile The first was about the writers at a writer s conference you know one of those deals where a writer pays 75 in exchange for the opportunity to pitch her story to agents and publishers It was so sad and yet so poignant to think of all of the people out there hoping they can peddle their story into something bigger some recognition or some money perhaps He took it beyond that and talked about the way writers mine the world around them for material to the point where sometimes they get so wrapped up in thinking about how they will turn this thing or that person into fodder for their latest story that they lose the ability to take life on its own terms I really loved this essay I also loved the final one which mostly pivoted around the murder of his father by some jealous lunatic ex husband of a woman he had just started seeing Very powerfulBut aside from those two essays I didn t really like much about this book
