The Intuitionist/Fight Club

[Jared Sorensen]

No, not another Archetype or school of magick...just a book that I heard
about on NPR yesterday.

It's by Colson Whitehead and is about warring factions of elevator
inspectors (?).  The first thing I thought of when I heard about it was
"gee...this would fit in the UnAverse..."

Also, check out Fight Club by Check Palahniuk (soon to be a major motion
picture with Brad Pitt).  Sounds terribly subversive and perfect for UA.
An excerpt from a Kirkus review:

"Palahniuk's insomniac narrator, a drone who works as a product recall
coordinator, spends his free time crashing support groups for the dying.
But his after-hours life changes for the weirder when he hooks up with
Tyler Durden, a waiter and projectionist with plans to screw up the world
--he's a ``guerilla terrorist of the service industry.'' ``Project Mayhem''
seems taken from a page in The Anarchist Cookbook and starts small:  Durden
splices subliminal scenes of porno into family films and he spits into
customers' soup. Things take off, though, when he begins the fight club --
a gruesome late-night sport in which men beat each other up as partial
initiation into Durden's bigger scheme: a supersecret strike group to carry
out his wilder ideas. Durden finances his scheme with a soap-making
business that secretly steals its main ingredient--the fat sucked from
liposuction."

KEEN!

BTW, Chad...if you have a web-site, I'd love to do a
velomancy/acceleromancy thing wit'ya.  At the very least some characters or
setting.

- sp!Key, who's going to a class taught by Clive Barker tomorrow...neener
neener!
