according to this article, Invisible Monsters Remix has a non-linear structure and is how Palahniuk originally wanted to publish his book. I feel like I am going to have to re-read it now that I am starting grasp the plot and characters(yes, it really is that confusing! Invisible Monsters (1999) by Chuck Palahniuk, An American satirical novelist and freelance journalist living in Portland, Oregon. Page numbers would probably be easier for a reader to navigate from place to place, but I imagine it would be a logistics nightmare in terms of publishing every time the book gets re-released or the format is changed.

Shocking doesn't do it for me alone, and he works SO VERY HARD at being vulgar and violent and crass. Even though I’ve never experienced anything as chaotic as the characters in Palahniuk's novel have, I felt like I was along for the ride and still we had something in common, something to share, whether it was our isolation, loneliness or the need to redefine ourselves out of the slump. The thing is, that movie never ended up making any sense(at least to me)so while read I was concerned it was just going to be this artsy "deep" book left up for interpretation that I wasn't cool enough (or drugged up enough)to understand. Another thing is no matter how much you think you love somebody, you'll step back when the pool of their blood edges up too close. as Brandy uses shawls and scarves to cover the protagonist’s face, which is missing the lower jaw after being shot.Brandy embodies the life that the narrator used to have--except for an important operation that Brandy still needs to have. Pura follia a volte, nemmeno te lo sogni come si incastrino tutti i tasselli del puzzle, uno schiaffo ai canoni estetici, del giusto e sbagliato, un pugno allo stomaco continuo. This attention is a large source of resentment for the narrator towards her brother, and she sought a career in modeling in attempt to get attention for herself.

Sometimes the best way to deal with shit, she says, is to not hold yourself as such a precious little prize. With a unique narrative structure and compelling characters, Palahniuk's writing continues to captivate readers around the world. Entre muchos efectismos a lo Palahniuk, una mirada interesante a ciertos valores de la sociedad actual. A sexual reassignment surgery is a miracle for some people, but if you don't want it, it's the ultimate form of self-mutilation. This is one of the few books I’ve read that contain more than one major plot twist that didn’t come out as lame or forced—at every reveal, I find myself wanting to release a thread of curses.While I haven’t tried this version of the book yet, I am truly curious about what the reading experience would be like, especially with the number of insane twists that are sprinkled throughout this book. This way at least is manageable for everyone except the dyslexics, but let’s be honest, page numbers would be even more difficult to follow. vedremo questa volta dove mi porterà e quali cazzo di sentimenti tirerà fuori da questa fottuta testa che mi ritrovo!

Deadpan Snarker: Most of the narrator's scribbles on her notepad are sly jokes or sardonic snark, but no one understands it most of the time. Palahniuk states at the introduction that it won't be linear, the story won't be in the form of and then and then and then. 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.That is, until everything goes to hell and her entire lower jaw is blown off in a drive-by shooting. The story is told by an unnamed narrator who’s had a freak accident on the highway that left her face horribly disfigured (goodbye jaw). Then Evie grabs a shotgun and shoots Brandy for some reason — apparently they planned this because Brandy mentions missing the bulletproof part of the vest and it’s all sad for a moment. As the lives Brandy offers up as truth continue to change and the lies threaten to fall apart, it becomes clear that no matter where you run eventually you have to face the facts and really decide what story you want to tell. Invisible Monsters Remix revolves around the story of a fashion model whose career and charmed life came to a halt when an “accident” leaves her disfigured and unable to speak.
