Product Description

Product Description
In the closest thing he may ever write to an autobiography, Chuck Palahniuk provides answers to all these questions and more as he takes you through the streets, sewers and local haunts of Portland, Oregon. According to Katherine Dunn, author of the cult classic "Geek Love", Portland is the home of America's 'fugitives and refugees.' Get to know these folks, the "most cracked of the crackpots,' as Palahniuk calls them, and come along with him on an adventure through the parts of Portland you might not otherwise actually believe actually exist. No other travel guide will give you this kind of access to "a little history, a little legend, and a lot of friendly sincere, fascinating people who maybe should've kept their mouths shut." Here are strange personal museums, wierd annual events and ghost stories. Tour the tunnels under downtown Portland. Visit swingers' sex clubs, gay and straight. See Frances Gabe's famous 1940's Self-cleaning house. Look into strange local customs like the I-Tit-a-Rod Race and the Santa rampage. Learn how to talk like a local in a quick vocabulary lesson. Get to know, I mean really get to know, the animals at the Portland Zoo. Oh, the list goes on and on.

3.0 out of 5 stars A dime short of a dollar, 30 Oct 2006
By S. Lewis (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Its hard when a book by your favourite author doesn't live up to your expectation. Nonetheless, this book starts well, and although I had no interest in the city itself, the anecdotes throughout the book will entertain fans of Non Fiction and Haunted.

This book is for Chuck enthusiasts or anyone interested in alternative travel autobiographies (a new genre?).

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent alternative guide to Portland, 26 Feb 2005
By A Customer
If you want to explore a side of Portland that you won't find in any other guide books then this is the book for you. From the underground Shanghai tunnels to the self cleaning house, this will amaze and entertain even life long Portland residents. If you're visiting the Rose City or have lived here for years, you will surely find this a fun and fantastic read.

3.0 out of 5 stars mildly interesting, 7 Jul 2004
Not Chuck's normal fare but an interesting if relatively uninspiring read. Buy Fight Club or Survivor instead, unless you're a fan.
