Reviews
"Dark riffing on modernity is the reason people read Palahniuk. His books are not so much novels as jagged fables, cautionary tales about the creeping peril represented by almost everything."-- Time, PRAISE FOR THE INVENTION OF SOUND : "This dark, humorous tale sparkles with the inventive details -- including a scream powerful enough to crumble buildings -- and provocative insights on the 'commodification of pain' and what it means to turn 'people's basic humanity into something that could be bought and sold.' The result is a wry, devilish delight."-- Publishers Weekly, "Like Edgar Allen Poe, Palahniuk is a bracingly toxic purveyor of dread and mounting horror. He makes nihilism fun."-- Vanity Fair, PRAISE FOR CHUCK PALAHNIUK: "Chuck Palahniuk's stories don't unfold. They hurtle headlong, changing lanes in threes and banging off the guard rails of modern fiction... 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, "Palahniuk expertly balances skewering of cultural institutions with profound insights into the nature of authenticity and the myriad ways we become damaged. The sheer abundance of creative ideas buoyed aloft by the vibrancy of the prose signal a master storyteller energized by delight in his own ingenuity...After his foray into literary advice, Consider This (2020), Palahniuk's heralded return to fiction will galvanize his many avid readers."-- Booklist, "Like Edgar Allan Poe, Palahniuk is a bracingly toxic purveyor of dread and mounting horror. He makes nihilism fun."-- Vanity Fair

Synopsis
A father searching for his missing daughter is suddenly given hope when a major clue is discovered, but learning the truth could shatter the seemingly perfect image Hollywood is desperate to uphold. Gates Foster lost his daughter, Lucy, seventeen years ago. He's never stopped searching. Suddenly, a shocking new development provides Foster with his first major lead in over a decade, and he may finally be on the verge of discovering the awful truth. Meanwhile, Mitzi Ives has carved out a space among the Foley artists creating the immersive sounds giving Hollywood films their authenticity. Using the same secret techniques as her father before her, she's become an industry-leading expert in the sound of violence and horror, creating screams so bone-chilling, they may as well be real. Soon Foster and Ives find themselves on a collision course that threatens to expose the violence hidden beneath Hollywood's glamorous fa ade. A grim and disturbing reflection on the commodification of suffering and the dangerous power of art, The Invention of Sound is Chuck Palahniuk at the peak of his literary powers -- his most suspenseful, most daring, and most genre-defying work yet., A father searching for his missing daughter is suddenly given hope when a major clue is discovered, but learning the truth could shatter the seemingly perfect image Hollywood is desperate to uphold.

- i***i (500)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaGreat seller, item as described if not better. It was a great value as I was not only buying the book I remember, but it is long out of print in this format. The item arrived packaged very well and protected, and the shipping was reasonable. I would definitely buy from again.The Portable Nietzsche by Walter Kaufmann (1st Viking Edition/19th Printing) (#297112172529)
- 1***- (207)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaThis was a wonderful experience! The item is beautiful, exactly as described and even though there was a delay due to weather they still arrived very quickly. Also, the packaging was perfect! They were packed tight in bubble wrap and unable to move around at all. This is one of my favorite sellers!And Eternity Piers Anthony (ARC, Uncorrected Proof, Incarnations Immortality #7) (#295127962362)
