Rant: An Oral History of Buster Casey by Chuck Palahniuk

Ah, the joys of a new book.
Especially ones with cool covers. Opinion may be divided on this issue but if you're a Chip Kidd fan, you'll get what I'm talking about.
Not going to get too into the constantly mutating storyline, if you like Paula-Nick,(the pronunciation he avers to be correct. There, now you know!) you already know what you're getting into.
I know some bookish folks who turn up their noses at Chuck's output but if nothing else, you really can't deny his ability to take the pop cultural pulse in a timely fashion. After musing on the subject for some time, my best guess is that their distaste stems from A) for Accessibility-there are people who "don't read" but will happily shell out for his latest B) for genre- Bending- I've noticed they're often the sort of folk that will read Ian Banks but find his sci-fi output as Ian M. Banks leaves them cold , and C) for Commercial- the dreaded accusation levelled at authors who are read by the masses, rather than the 5% elite who buy more than one book a year.
A wise and experienced bookseller once advised me to only read the last paragraph of any book review because everything I needed to know would be summed up there- a time saving devise I've never been able to bring myself to enact but for those who agree, here's my anti-screed synopsis of "Rant", in haiku form. Warning, may contain spoilers for those convoluted enough to follow it:
Rabid Casey, rams my car
space/time collapses
Grandfather Paradox?
