Rant by Chuck Palahniuk

---

Abandoned mid-read (very early on, in fact). There's something pointlessly grotesque about Rant that feels really gratuitous and just for the shock factor. I know it's early on, but the story lacks substance, relying instead on the contrived "oral history" scaffolding. In fact, I'd go so far as to say the story is juvenile and clearly the product of a privileged white dude. Chucky P, you're letting me down.
