Fugitives and Refugees: A Walk in Portland, Oregon

Chuck Palahniuk moved to Portland, Oregon, right out of high school, and continues to live there, and to enjoy the city's oddities and traditions. Here he takes the reader on a tour that includes a vacuum cleaner museum, the raunchy Dirty Duck Pub, and the world's largest hairball.

"conversational in style and personal in approach, Palahniuk's tribute to Portland feels more like a memoir than a city guide..., memories both slightly unbelievable and insistently bizarre. For readers devoted to his books, they'll no doubt be reassuring. Here's a writer whose life looks a lot like his fiction." - (New York Times Book Review, 8/31/03)

"For Palahniuk, the more acute the angle the better, but his is another solid entry in the Crown Journey series...." - Gail Paterson Corrington (Kirkus, 5/1/03)
