Doubleday launched Pygmy (copies in print:  124,600) with an East coast tour to Boston; New York; Baltimore; Philadelphia; and Washingotn, D.C. Palahniuk’s events drew sellout crowds of 300-600 people at each venue.  Famous for his interaction with audiences, the author threw 250 inflatable, three-foot penguins-blown-up, signed, then deflated and shipped to the stores by Palahniuk – to the fans.  Significance of the penguin?  It was the power animal in Fight Club, and this year is the 10th anniversary of the Brad Pitt flick.
