Description
Pygmy, a dark comedy from Chuck Palahniuk, tells the story of Agent Number 67, a totalitarian operative sent to the United States as an 'exchange student'. He is introduced to a Midwestern host family, who are unaware of his true intentions. As Pygmy navigates postmodern American life, he views it with contempt and plans something big, something truly awful. Palahniuk's novel is a commentary on the absurdities of modern society, where individuals are indoctrinated into the mindset of a totalitarian state. The result is a comedy that also explores themes of terrorism, politics, and satire. With its unique blend of humor and social commentary, Pygmy is a thought-provoking read. Published in 2010, this edition features 241 pages and a paperback binding.
