Our favorite affiliate, St. Helens Book Shop, is taking orders for signed Chuck Palahniuk books.  As you know, St. Helens is a local book store in Oregon that Chuck visits rather frequently.  While there, he not only signs all of their inventory, but he also fulfills personal online requests for inscribed messages on each book!

This is currently, the only way I know that fans can get signed books (to them!) from Chuck online.  Besides this, you'd have to wait till he was on tour and go see him in person.  This is also the perfect Christmas gift for anyone you know that might be a fan.

The bad news is, we got this information a little late, and then I took even later to post it!  So the cut-off date to get your orders in, along with your custom, person inscription you'd like Chuck to make, is December 11th!

All of the instructions about how to fulfill your orders and include your personal message you'd like Chuck to inscribe on the book you order, is on the site.  So don't wait!

'The Humbling' by Philip Roth
reviewed for ChuckPalahniuk.net by Phil Jourdan

The Humbling, Philip Roth’s thirtieth novel, is a book. Of that there is little doubt. But what is the book about? How does it fit into the enormous Rothian corpus? These are questions worth asking, because the novel is resolutely ambiguous and resistant to classification. On the one hand, it is typical of Roth’s work: despair, ageing and sex are the three Big Ideas explored in The Humbling, as they have been for decades in his other, better novels. On the  other hand, it’s thoroughly uneven and almost self-parodic in its treatment of these very Big Ideas. In short, the novel, though not Roth’s finest by a long shot, is in its way unique in his oeuvre.

Does this sound familiar?  Luckily, Tyler Durden never spent any time in Peru, so we know he had nothing to do with this.  All kidding aside though, this is a ghastly story.  I'll let the Huffington Post take over from here:

LIMA, Peru — A gang in the remote Peruvian jungle has been killing people for their fat, police charged Thursday, draining it from their corpses and offering it on the black market for use in cosmetics. Medical experts expressed skepticism that a major market for fat might exist.

Three suspects have confessed to killing five people for their fat, said Col. Jorge Mejia, chief of Peru's anti-kidnapping police. He said the suspects, two of whom were arrested carrying bottles of liquid fat, told police it was worth $60,000 a gallon ($15,000 a liter).

Mejia said the suspects told police the fat was sold to intermediaries in Lima, the Peruvian capital. While police suspect the fat was sold to cosmetic companies in Europe, he could not confirm any sales.

The official description for Tell All, Chuck Palahniuk's upcoming novel (May 3, 2010), is now up on Amazon:

The hyperactive love child of Page Six and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? caught in a tawdry love triangle with The Fan. Even Kitty Kelly will blush.

Soaked, nay, marinated in the world of vintage Hollywood, Tell-All is a Sunset Boulevard–inflected homage to Old Hollywood when Bette Davis and Joan Crawford ruled the roost; a veritable Tourette’s syndrome of rat-tat-tat  name-dropping, from the A-list to the Z-list; and a merciless  send-up of Lillian Hellman’s habit of butchering the truth that will have Mary McCarthy cheering from the beyond.

Our Thelma Ritter–ish narrator is Hazie Coogan, who for decades has tended to the outsized needs of Katherine “Miss Kathie”  Kenton—veteran of multiple marriages, career comebacks, and cosmetic surgeries. But danger arrives with gentleman caller Webster Carlton Westward III, who worms his way into Miss Kathie’s heart (and boudoir). Hazie discovers that this bounder has already written a celebrity tell-all memoir foretelling Miss Kathie’s death in a forthcoming Lillian Hellman–penned musical extravaganza; as the body count mounts, Hazie must execute a plan to save Katherine Kenton for her fans—and for posterity.

Tell-All is funny, subversive, and fascinatingly clever. It’s wild, it’s wicked, it’s  bold-faced—it’s vintage Chuck.

Props to Andy for spotting this and emailing us about it.

Pre-order Tell All from Amazon now!
