SURVIVOR 
 By Chuck Palahniuk 
 Vintage £6.99 
 

 THE AUTHOR of Fight Club here turns his eye
 to religion and celebrity in a faithless America,
 telling the story of Tender Branson, the last
 surviving member of an obscure, if venerable
 sect. The book takes on the form of Branson's
 last will and testament and is extraordinary in
 conception and detail, beautifully written, and
 full of unexpected household cleaning tips.
 Comparisons to DeLillo and Pynchon aren't
 undeserved. - SJ
