The eleventh novel by Chuck Palahniuk. The eleventh "bestseller for intellectuals," in which he deftly and cruelly satirizes the theme of "Pygmalion and Galatea," as well as the realities of Hollywood. "The eternal loser" and the eternal Pygmalion – the elderly Haizee...
Kugan, an unattractive and unimaginably gifted actress whose true calling has become to make superstars out of untalented starlets. Her favorite protégé is the dazzling beauty and equally dazzling fool Katherine Kenton, who is constantly awarded for unremarkable roles, constantly seduced and used, ridiculed – and adored. And finally – the crafty, cynical gigolo Webster, who has far-reaching plans for Katherine Kenton... From such a triangle, anything can emerge – and something more substantial does.
1. The eleventh "bestseller for intellectuals" by Chuck Palahniuk – the author of the legendary "Fight Club," a master of countercultural prose. An opportunity to immerse yourself in his signature style: sharp irony, provocation, and unexpected plot twists. 2. A harsh and witty satire on Hollywood and the star industry: Palahniuk reinterprets the myth of Pygmalion and Galatea, showing how idols are created and destroyed. 3. Haizee Kugan, Katherine Kenton, and Webster – a trio of bright and controversial characters whose relationships create a tense plot that doesn’t let go until the last page.
