The most ambitious novel yet from the author of Fight Club and Choke.

Agent Number 67, nicknamed Pygmy for his diminutive size, arrives in the United States from his totalitarian homeland. An 'exchange student' he is welcomed with open arms by his Midwestern host family. Simpsons-spinoffs, they introduce him into the rituals of postmodern American life, which he views with utter contempt. Along with his fellow operatives, he is planning something big, something truly, truly awful, to bring this big dumb country's fat inhabitants to their knees.

Praise for Pygmy

The novel abandons minimalism for a Clockwork Orange-style spin through a semi-invented language. Consequently, it's Palahniuk's most challenging book yet

Colin Waters, The Sunday Herald

The boldest book in a long while...ace

Lauren Laverne, Grazia

Brilliantly conceived, linguistically inventive and extremely rude

Anne McElvoy, New Statesman, Books of 2009

Brilliant... It has moments of poetry

Daily Telegraph

A hilarious novel...as ever, Palahniuk is interested in pushing the limits. He leaps over the line of good taste - and lands squarely on his feet
