Praise for Rant: The Oral Biography of Buster Casey…

“One of the most feverish imaginations in American letters. . . . More than your weekly prescribed dose of humor and humanity, cleverness and outrage.”
—The Washington Post

“Brilliant. . . extremely fun. . . . With his love of contemporary fairytales that are gritty and dirty rather than pretty, Palahniuk is the likeliest inheritor of Vonnegut's place in American writing.”
—San Francisco Chronicle

“Mr. Palahniuk doesn't write for tourists. He writes for hard-core devotees drawn to the wild, angry imagination on display and the taboo-busting humor.”
—The New York Times

“Unpredictably hilarious. . . . The writing is vivid, raw, and mordantly knowing.”
—Chicago Sun-Times

“Truly unique. He writes at the edge of crazy, and you can feel his desperate urge to get at the truth of things.”
—The Seattle Times

“Twisted? Come on, it's Palahniuk. Impossible to put down? Same answer.”
—Men's Journal

“It's a rare novel that's as funny and as brain-bending as this one. Buckle up.”
—The Philadelphia Inquirer

“A white-knuckled what-if, Rant is the author's most idiosyncratic work to date.”
—The Fort Worth Star-Telegram

“A strong dose of gore and sinewy prose.”
—Time Out New York

“So funny that your facial muscles soon tire.”
—The Guardian
