Chuck Palahniuk`s novels are notorious for their disturbing--and disturbingly fun--premises that slyly undermine the reader`s sense of societal norms. In his ninth foray into our cultural underbelly, Palahniuk chronicles aging porn star Cassie Wright`s greatest and nastiest chance at skin-flick notoriety as she attempts to have sex with 600 men in a single day. Though the material is raunchy, and the humor is as dark as ever, Palahniuk`s bestseller succeeds through its sympathetic and surprisingly sincere character studies of three would-be studs, each waiting for his number to be called: Mr. 137, an over-the-hill actor also looking for one last hoorah in his career; Mr. 600, a porn maven who has known Wright from the beginning; and Mr. 72, a young man claiming to be one of Cassie`s many abandoned children.

  • Palahniuk's audacious ninth novel tells the story of Cassie Wright, an aging porn queen who intends to put an exclamation point on her career by having sex with 600 men in one day on film. The story begins with Mr. 600-the pornosaur who introduced Cassie to the business-as he describes the other 599 "actors" awaiting their moment on screen. The perspective then shifts to Mr. 72, an adopted Midwestern 20-something who is one of the many young men claiming to be Cassie's long-lost son. Mr. 137, a has-been television star hoping to revive his career, wants to ask Cassie's hand in marriage so that the two can star in a reality TV show. But for a novel centered around a gargantuan gangbang, there's surprisingly little action; the small amount of narrative movement takes place backstage, where the characters attempt to get a sense of one another while waiting for their number to be called. There are sharp moments when Palahniuk compassionately and candidly examines the flesh-on-film industry, but mostly this reads like a cross between the Spice Channel and Days of Our Lives.
