Description

An expanded, radically refashioned 'director's cut' of this favorite Chuck Palahniuk novel. She's a catwalk model who has everything- a boyfriend, a career, a loyal best friend. But a sudden motor 'accident' leaves her an 'invisible monster', so hideous that no one will acknowledge she exists. Enter Brandy Alexander, Queen Supreme, who will teach her that reinventing yourself sometimes means erasing your past and making up something better... Injected with new material and special design elements, Invisible Monsters Remix is a radically refashioned 'director's cut' of a favourite Chuck Palahniuk novel, turning a daring satire on beauty and the fashion industry into an even more wildly unique reading experience.

Reviews

Maybe our generation has found its Don Delillo * Bret Easton Ellis *
This is a wild ride of a novel * Booklist *
A clever, comical pell-mell through gender politics and stereotyped expectations, to explore the extremes of will-power, and of living as one wishes -- John Lloyd * thebookbag.co.uk *
Readers can either disregard the author and read it in the conventional way or follow his instructions and jump to the chapter you are told. The thrill of defiance in the former almost matches the same show-like excitement of the latter both are exhilarating and rewarding options -- Antonia Charlesworth * Big Issue *
Twelve years on, Palahniuk revisits this work mashing up its linear narrative to recreate the pre-Internet thrill of flicking through Vogue or the Sears catalogue -- Emma Hagestadt * Independent *
