Chuck Palahniuck's Novel Snuff gets a new Title for the Italian Edition.

Apparently Italian Publishers aren't so subtle. Chuck Palahniuck just tweeted this cover of the Italian edition of his novel Snuff. A tongue in cheek look at the adult film industry, Snuff is a raunchy, racy, riotous tale that is a seriously fun read. Here's the photo, which features the new title for the book:

By renaming the book, publishers kind of missed the whole point of the book. The sex, which features prominently, is really just a back drop for the rest of the story. A reflection of the porn industry itself, the reader is supposed to become desensitized to the copious amounts of sex, it isn't the focus, it is merely a means to an end. At least that's my take on it. Regardless, it's fun to see another culture's take on this fabulous piece of literature.
