Fiction. Literature. HTML:

An expanded, radically refashioned "director's cut" of a favorite Palahniuk novel

Injected with new material, Invisible Monsters Remix fulfills Chuck Palahniuk's original vision for his 1999 novel, moving a daring satire on beauty and the fashion industry even further into a wildly unique listening experience. Palahniuk's fashion-model protagonist has it allâ??boyfriend, career, loyal best friendâ??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. Listeners will jump between chapters and have a second listen to understand the dissolve between fiction and fact, taking them on a ride they'll never forget… (meer)

Opinione diffusa è che oramai Chuck Palahniuk sia alla mercé degli editori: dopo qualche romanzo non proprio ispirato, siamo alla fase dei sequel e delle ri-edizioni.
Con già annunciato il seguito di Dannazione e una graphic novel che farà le veci di seguito di Fight Club d'altronde, questo 'remix' sembrerebbe essere il canto del cigno della creatività Palahniukiana.
E invece un senso, quest'edizione, ce l'ha.
Prima di tutto per regalare (anche) un'edizione rilegata ad un romanzo che, incredibile a dirsi, uscì a suo tempo direttamente in paperback.
Nell'introduzione a quest'edizione, inoltre vengono spiegate le ragioni dell'autore di questo rilascio. Come per ogni 'director's cut', l'editore aveva imposto alcuni paletti a quello che all'epoca non era lo sforna-romanzi di oggi.
L'idea originale, a quanto pare, era quella di un romanzo in cui il lettore potesse perdersi, privandolo del senso dell'orientamento all'interno delle pagine. E questo effetto è stato ottenuto (con successo, aggiungo) tramite lo stravolgimento dell'ordine dei capitoli, ed alle indicazioni dell'autore su dove proseguire.
È così che quindi si salta dalla fine all'inizio senza avere cognizione di quante pagine sono state effettivamente lette. Sono presenti, inoltre, pagine rimosse nella prima pubblicazione. Ed anche qualche stratagemma che non rivelo qui.
Il volume è quindi indirizzato a chi è piaciuta la prima declinazione della storia, ma anche a chi non l'ha mai letta, ed in questo caso consiglio di buttarsi direttamente su quest'edizione, comunque disponibile in formato tascabile.
Se l'originale l'ho letto in italiano (ottimamente tradotto), questo ho dovuto leggerlo in inglese, in quanto non mi è ancora chiaro se qualche editore italiano (Mondadori, suppongo) abbia intenzione di renderlo disponibile nel mercato nostrano. Per chi mastica l'inglese la lettura procede senza intoppi, ad ogni modo.

Ah, e non vi fidate assolutamente dei collegamenti tra i capitoli, se non volete lasciarvi dietro qualcosa... ( )

I've never read anything like it! How many times have been reading a thriller and you wished you couldn't see how many pages are left? This is that. It's a choose-your-own-adventure book, but without the choice. There are two or three other plot lines (aside from the main story) that loop back around, so if you take a wrong turn you'll figure it out. This is definitely a rocket ride. The characters have some pretty deep mental issues that keep the plot moving in crazy, shocking directions. ( )

I listened to this book on audio. This was such a strange story, I am at a loss for words.

The narrators were fantastic, especially Anna Fields. (Chuck P. himself was one of them). This story jumps all over the place and it takes a while to get a feel for what's happening. This audio book came with a link to a pdf file explaining how there are
are 4 different loops to follow, and the instructions on how to do that. Or, you can just listen-after each portion, a narrator pops on and tells you where to go next.

I just listened to it straight through. It's about a model that now has no face. Her name is ..well there's a choice of 3. Her life is unimaginable. It's somewhat realistic, it's all out hilarious, but it's also poignant at times. Especially the 4 times Chuck himself narrated. These parts were interesting because he talked about other things going on his life-I liked these sections the best.

So this book has a non linear story with lots of graphic violence, language, thievery, sex and lots of drugs. You definitely want to listen on ear buds and not out loud. Trust me on this.

This was a totally crazy, unique, in your face, fun read and I liked it a lot! Highly recommended! ( )

Palahniuk has a great way of turning a phrase. Like most of his books, this one is highly quotable. Also like most of his work, this examines the ugliness we all possess inside us and the lengths we will go to either explore, hide, or struggle to come to grips with it.

It is shocking, but the shock value is Palahniuk's schtick. Some adjectives and other such descriptors are repetitive to the point of annoyance at times. Still, worth the read. Not quite a 4 star for me though. ( )

life of a model after she is shot in the face, by all means read the remix version which has the chapters printed out-of-order, intentionally ( )
