Say what you will about Chuck Palahniukâand Iâve said a whole lot about his last few, very awful novelsâbut the man is a brilliant reader of his own work; heâs definitely in my top 10 readers to see live. And this event for the âremixedâ version of his best novel, Invisible Monsters, should be Palahniuk at his finest. Itâs not just that he famously causes members of his audience to vomit and faint when he reads his scarier workâheâs also patient, humble, and hilarious when it comes time for audience questions, too.
