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.
