Bad Bugs Bookclub Meeting Report: Rant: an Oral Biography of Buster Casey by Chuck Palahniuk the Aim of the Bad Bugs Book Club I
Bad Bugs Bookclub Meeting Report: Rant: an oral biography of Buster Casey by Chuck Palahniuk The aim of the Bad Bugs Book Club is to get people interested in science, specifically microbiology, by reading books (novels) in which infectious disease forms some part of the story. We also try to associate books, where possible, with some other activity or event, to widen interest, and to broaden impact. We have established a fairly fluid membership of our bookclub through our website In The Loop (www.sci-eng.mmu.ac.uk/intheloop), but we hope to encourage others to join, to set up their own bookclub, suggest books and accompanying activities to us, and give feedback about the books that they have read, using our website as the focus for communication. Our bookclub comprises both microbiologists and members of the general public. We felt that this would encourage some discussion on the science – accuracy, impact etc – as well as about the book. Chuck Palahniuk is the author of Fight Club, also a memorable movie. Fight Club challenges the issue of reality towards its end, and Rant, a later novel (2007) does the same throughout. The sleeve notes say ‘Buster (Rant) Casey just may be the most efficient serial killer of our time. A high school rebel, Rant Casey escapes from his small home town for the big city where he becomes the leader of an urban demolition derby called Party Crashing. Rant Casey will die a spectacular highway death, after which his friends gather the testimony needed to build an oral history of his short, violent life.

With hilarity, horror, and blazing insight, Rant is a mind-bending vision of the future, as only Chuck Palahniuk could ever imagine. At first, this novel looked pretty straight-forward. The subtitle of the book lays it all up. Buster Casey's life is opened wide by people who knew him and even by some who knew of him. So, what's Twenty pages into this book I had resolved never to recommend it to anybody. Two hundred pages in, I was still reading and occasionally laughing out loud. The last 50 pages ruined it. This is an Chuck Palahniuk.
