Recenzii

"The boldest book in a long while...ace" -- Lauren Laverne Grazia "A hilarious novel...as ever, Palahniuk is interested in pushing the limits. He leaps over the line of good taste - and lands squarely on his feet" Booklist "Brilliant... It has moments of poetry" Daily Telegraph "Brilliantly conceived, linguistically inventive and extremely rude" -- Anne McElvoy New Statesman, Books of 2009 "The novel abandons minimalism for a Clockwork Orange-style spin through a semi-invented language. Consequently, it's Palahniuk's most challenging book yet" -- Colin Waters The Sunday Herald

Descriere

Agent 67, nicknamed Pygmy for his diminutive size, arrives in the US from his totalitarian homeland (a mash-up of Communist-era China, North Korea, Cuba, and Nazi-era Germany), as an 'exchange student' into the welcoming arms of his Simpsons-spinoff Midwestern host family who introduce him to postmodern American life, which he views with utter contempt. Along with his fellow operatives, all indoctrinated into the totalitarian mindset, he is planning something big, something truly, truly awful, that will bring this big dumb country and its fat, dumb inhabitants to their knees. Palahniuk's finest, most ambitious novel since 'Fight Club'.
