Clearly, the first questions any potential visitor to Portland will have are: ” Where do Chuck Palahniuk`s tonsils currently reside?”, ” Where can I find a naked mannequin to hide in my kitchen cabinets?”, & of course ” What goes on at the Scum Center?”. Fortunately, Chuck Palahniuk, the author of Fight Club, has taken pity on those travelling to the home of America`s ”fugitives & refugees” & written this personal account of its streets, sewers & local haunts, introducing us to the ”most cracked of the crackpots” along the way in his inimitable, apocalyptic style. This can`t fail to be a travel-writing classic.
