I’m a big fan of older Chuck Palahniuk works ( he is the author of Fight Club btw ) and I was eagerly awaiting this short story when it was published in 2004. I forgot about it until I read Nikuk’s shit-on-dick thread.
As a little backstory, Chuck was doing a book promo tour for a new novel back in 2004, and was booked to do a reading at various colleges and bookstores across the country. He was supposed to read a passage from the book Diary, but instead read this. As the story progressed, people legitimately were fainting and vomiting in the audience. Of course we are more desensitized to the topics in this story than the rest of the public, but imagine your grandparents or parents hearing this read aloud. There are you tube videos of him reading it also, if interested.
Anyways, read this for entertainment, as a time sink at work, or if you just enjoy Palahniuk as an author.
