To be absolutely explicit: The plot doesn’t move. But there is nothing to be learned about Casey after the sixth page (Pages One through Six are titled, imaginatively, “An Introduction”), and what we have already learned is never vividly or convincingly described. Each voice narrates a piece of Buster Casey’s life, a Typhoid Mary who has caused rabies to percolate throughout the United States. Rant is compact of endlessly babbling voices. While trudging through its pages, the essence of boredom was revealed to me. Rant, however, is not merely stupid–it is also deadeningly, mind-numbingly tedious. As insipid as they are, at least Palahniuk’s other books are EZ-2-Read. RANT (“Chuck” Palahniuk) by Joseph SugliaĮven “Chuck” Palahniuk’s most devoted followers will have a hard time getting through Rant (2007), a book about thrill-seeking that is devoid of a single thrill.
