Middle School, High School Harper/HarperCollins 296 pp. It’s because the new order is so repulsive and/or idiotic in such obvious ways. If you come away from this book rejecting the alt-right-y ideology of the new order, it’s not because Palahniuk told you you should. Interestingly, the only overt “preaching” is all from the point of view of the uprising. We kind of get where people are coming from, and how they might get to this point. It’s grim and ugly, but Palahniuk does a pretty good job of making it psychologically real. Everyone who doesn’t fit one of these identities are deported or worse.Īnd so on. The List was crowd sourced on the Internet, essentially voting for “America’s least wanted”.Īfter Adjustment Day, the shooters take over and create a new political order, sorted by “identity”: the “formerly united states” split into separate nations for “whites”, “blacks”, and “gays”. The “day” in question refers to a mass uprising in which thousands of (mostly white) men gun down politicians, celebrities, teachers, and anyone on “The List”. However crazy, it’s all far, far too real to easily laugh at. It might be satire, but it cuts awfully close to the bone. His new novel gets inside the wilder fantasies of the Internet, confused and violent ideologies obsessed with white and male identity. He’s gotten inside violence, porn, and even being damned to hell. Palahniuk’s stories are never easy reading. Jeffreys sought to counter the separating drive enshrined in the Population Registration Act, thus attempting to force a recognition of the artificiality of apartheid’s social engineering.

Denied the builder of his houses and the fashioner of his furniture. He has denied the Coloured originator of his language. The Afrikaner has denied the Coloured mother. In fact, these last two are the only categories of people in the world he's prepared to risk his own life for. He has almost no redeeming qualities in Fraser's books either, except for crystal-clear powers of observation and real affection for his wife Elspeth and his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The character Flashman is taken from the Victorian novel Tom Brown's Schooldays, where he is presented without any redeeming qualities. The author had a fondness for Refuge in Audacity and strove to make his stories - narrated by the eponymous rogue from the perspective of his comfortable retired life - as deliciously offensive as possible. They are presented as the memoirs of an infamous Victorian war hero who describes his adventures as a bully, rapist, lecher, backstabber, and coward. The Flashman novels by George MacDonald Fraser are a Picaresque series of adventures, starring Harry Flashman.
