　　Rant takes the form of a (fictional) oral history of Buster “Rant” Casey, in which an assortment of friends, enemies, admirers, detractors, and relations have their say on this evil character, who may or may not be the most efficient serial killer of our time.
　　
　　Buster Casey was every small kid born in a small town, searching for real thrills in a world of video games and action/adventure movies. The high school rebel who always wins – and a childhood murderer? – Rant Casey escapes from his hometown of Middleton into the big city and becomes the leader of an urban demolition derby called Party Crashing, where, on designated nights, the participants recognize each other by dressing their cars with tin-can tails, “Just Married” toothpaste graffiti, and other refuse, then look for special markings in order to stalk and crash into each other. It’s in this violent, late-night hunting game that Casey makes three friends. And after his spectacular death, these friends gather the testimony needed to build an oral history of his short life. Their collected anecdotes explore the charges that his saliva infected hundreds and caused a silent, urban plague of rabies . . .
　　
　　Expect hilarity and horror, and blazing insight into the desperate and surreal contemporary human condition as only Chuck Palahniuk can deliver it. He’s the postmillennial Jonathan Swift, the man to watch to learn what’s – uh-oh – coming next.
　　
　　Excerpt from RANT:
　　
　　Wallace Boyer (Car Salesman): Like most people, I didn’t meet and talk to Rant Casey until after he was dead. That’s how it works for most celebrities, after they croak their circle of close friends just explodes. A dead celebrity can’t walk down the street without meeting a million best buddies they never met in real life.
　　
　　Dying was the best career move Jeff Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy ever made. . . .
　　
　　The way Rant Casey used to say it: Folks build a reputation by attacking you while you’re alive–or praising you after you ain’t.

Rant 的阴谋论
moviejunkie(要不咱就永远年轻永远热泪盈眶吧)

出场人物之庞杂，情节之扑朔，逻辑之玄妙，手法之繁复。。。前面有点看不进去兼莫名其妙，看到后三分之一的时候开始惊叹。。。故事的逻辑线有点让偶想到Lost，哈哈貌似Chuck也写了不少神秘主义超自然主义和时间旅行嘛。。。Diary, Survivor, Choke, Rant, (Lullaby? not read...... (2回应)
