About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A. : Doubleday Books, 2007. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Mint/As New. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. A high school rebel who always wins (and a childhood murderer?), Rant Casey escapes from his small hometown of Middleton for the big city. He becomes the leader of an urban demolition derby called Party Crashing. On appointed nights participants recognize one another by such designated car markings as "Just Married" toothpaste graffiti and then stalk and crash into each other. Rant Casey will die a spectacular highway death, after which his friends gather testimony needed to build an oral history of his short, violent life. Their collected anecdotes explore the possibility that his saliva caused a silent urban plague of rabies and that he found a way to escape the prison house of linear time.. Expect hilarity, horror, and blazing insight into the desperate and surreal contemporary human condition as only Chuck Palahniuk can deliver it. He's the postmillennial Jonathan Swift, the visionary to watch to learn what's -uh-oh-coming next. Mint, unread, first edition, firstprinting, in as new, mylar=protected dust cover. [Not remainder-marked or price-clipped] BUND
