Chuck Klosterman: The Visible Man
posted September 18, 2012 #
On my last trip out of town I thought I'd finally dive into the latest Chuck Klosterman novel, The Visible Man. I finished it before I touched down in Portland, it was too good to put down for a moment. The basic story premise is of therapist Victoria Vick and her encounter with a new patient; one who claims to have the ability to be entirely unseen. This allows him to see the true self of those he observes. You can check out an excerpt of it here. There's also a trailer for it but I suggest you not watch it - as you really don't need to have your own personal vision of the characters swayed.
My only complaint about the novel would be that I wish it were longer. There's plenty of room for even more anecdotes on the subjects observed and I'd like to read them all.
