My first Chuck Palahniuk book, and it is about his town of Portland Oregon. It is more of a travelogue for the slightly demented and bizarre. Because nowhere does he describe the main sites like Powell's Books, Nike Town, Portlandia, or the touristy parts of downtown. This is a book about Portland from someone who lives in Portland and tells you about the places that he likes to go. And between each chapter there is a short story from his life in Portland, which I guess is autobiographical.
I will be in Portland next week, hopefully I can try and hit one of the places he talks about. I haven't been to OMSI in a while...
(This is not my Palahniuk book for book club, I will be reading Pygmy.)
Val is also reading Pygmy.
