Palahniuk takes his time at the beginning of the novel introducing the character of Katherine Kenton, who seems like a cross between Katharine Hepburn, Angelina Jolie, Elizabeth Taylor, and Lindsay Lohan. In the narration, Coogan discusses her own endless maneuvering to manage Kenton’s movie-star image, calling the actress, “my work-in-progress,” and adding, “My job title is not that of nanny or guardian angel, but I perform duties of both.” The reader follows as she juggles Kenton’s drug use, serial...

...workers from the country's other vital economic sectors.) But the goal is 100,000 workers - a number that will require more than the $25.5 million the UNDP has so far garnered in donations and pledges for the project, which is why the agency has been bringing celebrities like Angelina Jolie and recent American Idol winners to Haiti to promote it. Participants, who have to be at least 18 years old, work six-hour shifts each day for two weeks; only one worker per family is allowed and that family has to have been affected in some way (a death...
