Charles Michael "Chuck" Palahniuk (IPA: [ˡpɑlənɪk])[1] (born February 21, 1962) is an American satirical novelist and freelance journalist living in Portland, Oregon. He is best known for the award-winning novel Fight Club, which was later made into a film directed by David Fincher. He has one of the largest centralized followings of any author on the Internet, based around his official website. His writings, similar in style to those of such peers as Bret Easton Ellis, Irvine Welsh, and Douglas Coupland, have made him one of the most popular novelists of Generation X. Haunted (2005) is a novel written by Chuck Palahniuk that was released on May 3, 2005. The plot is a frame story for a series of 23 short stories (most of which are preceded by a free verse poem) with a chapter in the main narrative before and after each one. Each of the stories are written by the characters of main narrative, and each ties back into the main story in either important or minor ways. The synopsis on Haunted's dust jacket describes the book as a satire of reality television. According to Palahniuk, though, the novel is actually about "the battle for credibility" that has resulted from the ease at which one can publish through the use of modern technology.[1] - Unsubscribed , posted 10/29/06 |
