About this ebook

For the first time in hardcover, an expanded, radically refashioned "director's cut" of a favorite Chuck Palahniuk novel. Injected with new material and special design elements, Invisible Monsters Remix fulfills Chuck Palahniuk’s original vision for his 1999 novel, turning a daring satire on beauty and the fashion industry into an even more wildly unique reading experience. Palahniuk’s fashion-model protagonist has it all—boyfriend, career, loyal best friend—until an accident destroys her face, her ability to speak, and her self-esteem. Enter Brandy Alexander, Queen Supreme, one operation away from becoming a bona-fide woman. Laced in are new chapters of memoir and further scenes with the book’s characters. Readers will jump between chapters, reread the book to understand the dissolve between fiction and fact, and decipher the playful book design, embarking on a ride they’ll never forget. All type irregularities in the text are intended.

Who would have thought the author of Fight Club would write something so gay and so fabulous? If you can get past the fact that pretty much every character is a terrible person, it is a great story. Seriously, his writing style is perfect. The language in the narration is flawed enough to build a voice for his main character, and not a single word is written that doesn't drive the plot forward. If you have a weekend on the side of a mountain to spend reading (like I just did) take this book with you.
