Rant: An Oral History of Buster Casey

Summary

The visionary author of such New York Times bestsellers as Fight Club and Lullaby, Chuck Palahniuk continues pushing the envelope with this fictional biography of the 21st century’s greatest serial killer, Buster “Rant” Casey.

After Rant dies in a fiery blaze of glory, three of his closest compatriots—a gang of urban demolition derby aficionados affiliated with a group calling themselves The Party Crashers—travel back to his hometown of Middleton to record an oral history of their fallen idol. Conducting interviews with Rant’s family and childhood friends and enemies, they compile stories about Rant’s fascination with vermin, the plague of rabies he unleashed upon the world, the formation of the Party Crashers, and other legends surrounding America’s newest and greatest celebrity mass murderer. But the question remains: “Who was Rant Casey?”
