Fugitives and Refugees

Clearly, the first questions any potential visitor to Portland will have are: "Where do Chuck Palahniuk's tonsils currently reside?", "Where can I find a naked mannequin to hide in my kitchen cabinets?", and of course "What goes on at the Scum Center?". Fortunately, Chuck Palahniuk, the author of Fight Club, has taken pity on those travelling to the home of America's "fugitives and refugees" and written this personal account of its streets, sewers and local haunts, introducing us to the "most cracked of the crackpots" along the way in his inimitable, apocalyptic style. This can't fail to be a travel-writing classic.
