Invisible Monsters Remix
Chuck Palahniuk, best-selling author of Fight Club, reads a passage from Invisible Monsters Remix, his updated 1999 daring satire on beauty and the fashion industry. (Running Time: 09:19)
Injected with new material and special design elements, Invisible Monsters Remix fulfills Chuck Palahniuk's original vision for his 1999 novel, turning a daring satire on beauty and the fashion industry into an even more wildly unique reading experience. Palahniuk's fashion-model protagonist has it all -- boyfriend, career, loyal best friend -- 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. Readers will jump between chapters, reread the book to understand the dissolve between fiction and fact, and decipher the playful book design, embarking on a ride they'll never forget.
