Rant

This is my third Chuck Palahniuk book in as many months.  I plan on reading at least one more before I begin school and then I have to get serious.  This also counts as part of my plan to read 7 Oregonian books this year.  I am at three, all by the same guy.

I am beginning to understand the style of Palahniuk, and it seems he will change the narrative style of each of his books.  Pygmy was first person broken english, and Rant anecdotal from the perspective of people that associated with the eponymous character.  But the themes of perversion, anti-authoritarian, and just plain weird shit are all present.

The protagonist is Rant Casey, and at the writing of this novel he is already dead, and all of his former friends talk about him and the huge rabies epidemic that he started.  Because of course Rant enjoys sticking his arm down strange holes to see what bites.  He uses black widow bites as his viagra, and coyote bites for rabies so that he can go around infecting everyone so that they can be free.  I don't want to bother explaining that last part.  And at some part the book starts to use time traveling, which caught me by surprise.

Goodbook.
