This odd book is written as an oral biography of a fictional man named Rant Casey. It is composed of short paragraphs from a multitude of people who knew Rant. The book takes place in a future America divided into mirror ‘Daytime’ and ‘Nighttime’ societies. He has a traumatic childhood in the county and eventually moves away to the city, where he joins a demolition derby called ‘Party Crashing’. By this point he has discovered that he is immune to the harmful effects of rabies, but also carries it. An epidemic of nationwide proportions begins when Rant begins infecting his friends in the city.
‘Rant’ is very hard to put down, gross in parts, funny in others, and has a mind-bending ending that left me in a mild state of shock for several hours afterward.
