A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

From the master of literary mayhem and provocation, a full-frontal Triple-X novel that goes where no work of fiction has gone before.

'Six hundred dudes. One porn queen. A world record for the ages. A must-have movie for every discerning collector of things erotic.'

'Didn't one of us on purpose set out to make a snuff movie?'

Cassie Wright, porn priestess, intends to cap her legendary career by breaking the world record for serial fornication. On camera. With six hundred men. Snuff unfolds from the perspectives of Mr 72, Mr 137 and Mr 600, who await their turn on camera in a very crowded green room. This wild, lethally funny and thoroughly researched novel brings the huge yet underacknowledged presence of pornography in contemporary life into the realm of literary fiction at last. Who else but Chuck Palahniuk would dare do such a thing? Who else could do it so well, so unflinchingly and with such an incendiary (you might say) climax?

Revue de presse :

"You'll bite your pillow laughing" (Arena)

"Every bit as dangerous as it sounds... Snuff is a deliciously disturbing, superbly paced and graphically obnoxious read" (Maxim)

"Snuff is a Chernobyl of taboos...Palahniuk investigates his novels for months before he begins to write, so they always have a journalistic reek of authenticity and immediacy: he is like Tom Wolfe on acid...Think of it as The Bonfire of the Inanities. Once you have come down and mopped up the vomit, you will be glad you snorted this particular Snuff" (Independent)

"If he set out to see if a novel could still shock, Palahniuk has succeeded" (Esquire)

"Palahniuk is a deeply talented and original satirist... a class act of characterisation and situation comedy, wrapped up in something much more important" (Daily Mirror)
