Chuck Palahniuk
Published on July 22, 2008 at 5:01am
In Chuck Palahniuks world, nothing is taboo. Fight Club, his most popular novel, is also his tamest. Since the 1999 movie with Brad Pitt and Edward Norton, theres only been one other screen adaptation, Choke, which opens in September. Perhaps thats because theaters dont want to hand out vomit bags to moviegoers. Palahniuks newest book, Snuff (Doubleday, $24.95), takes a rude, satirical look at the skin-flick industry. Heres the plot: one aging porn diva, 600 guys, a world record for the ages. The story is related from three POVs, that of dude number 72, a high school virgin who brings roses to his own deflowering; dude number 137, an autograph seeker and mad fan; and dude number 600, an aging pornosaur himself whos batting cleanup in more ways than one. Gee, wonder whod star in this movie? JESSE FROEHLING
