Rant is the latest novel from Chuck Palahniuk, the literary innovator behind Fight Club, Haunted, Diary and Survivor. Rant takes the form of an oral history of Buster "Rant" Casey. A high school rebel who always wins (and a childhood murderer?), Rant Casey escapes from his small hometown of Middleton for the big city. He becomes the leader of an urban demolition derby called Party Crashing. On appointed nights participants recognize one another by such designated car markings as “Just Married” toothpaste graffiti and then stalk and crash into each other. Rant Casey will die a spectacular highway death, after which his friends gather testimony needed to build an oral history of his short, violent life. Their collected anecdotes explore the possibility that his saliva caused a silent urban plague of rabies and that he found a way to escape the prison house of linear time.

Chuck Palahniuk is the award-winning author of many widely read and respected novels. Here is a complete list of his books.

The future you have, tomorrow, won’t be the same future you had, yesterday..."
—Rant Casey
