Wholesale Invention of Sound

From nationally bestselling author Chuck Palahniuk, The Invention of Sound follows a father desperate to find his missing daughter, caught in a web of Hollywood secrets. Gates Foster has just discovered a major clue and his first break in the case in years, and he may be on the verge of finding his daughter. Meanwhile, Mitzi Ives works in the film industry, creating sound effects that lend that special immersive quality to Hollywood films. She's best known for creating horror effects that feel frighteningly real. Too real, even. In The Invention of Sound, Palahniuk sets Ives and Foster on a collision course as he explores the ways in which our culture commodifies and profits off of human suffering, even as that suffering creates intoxicating and powerful forms of art. Undiminished in his literary powers, this latest novel from Palahniuk is as compelling as ever.(This title may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
