Chuck Palahniuk showed himself to be his generation’s most visionary satirist in this, his first book. Fight Club’s estranged narrator leaves his lackluster job when he comes under the thrall of Tyler Durden, an enigmatic young man who holds secret after-hours boxing matches in the basement of bars. There, two men fight "as long as they have to." This is a gloriously original work that exposes the darkness at the core of our modern world.
Written in stolen moments under truck chassis and on park benches to a soundtrack of The Downward Spiral and Pablo Honey, Fight Club came into existence. The adaptation of Fight Club was a flop at the box office, but achieved cult status on DVD. The film’s popularity drove sales of the novel. Chuck put out two novels in 1999, Survivor and Invisible Monsters. Choke, published in 2001, became Chuck’s first New York Times bestseller. Chuck’s work has always been infused with personal experience, and his next novel, Lullaby, was no exception. Chuck credits writing Lullaby with helping him cope with the tragic death of his father. Diary and the non-fiction guide to Portland, Fugitives and Refugees, were released in 2003. While on the road in support of Diary, Chuck began reading a short story entitled 'Guts,' which would eventually become part of the novel Haunted.
In the years that followed, he continued to write, publishing the bestselling Rant, Snuff, Pygmy, Tell-All, a 'remix' of Invisible Monsters, Damned, and most recently, Doomed.
Chuck also enjoys giving back to his fans, and teaching the art of storytelling has been an important part of that. In 2004, Chuck began submitting essays to ChuckPalahniuk.net on the craft of writing. These were 'How To' pieces, straight out of Chuck's personal bag of tricks, based on the tenants of minimalism he learned from Tom Spanbauer. Every month, a “Homework Assignment” would accompany the lesson, so Workshop members could apply what they had learned. (all 36 of these essays can currently be found on The Cult's sister-site, LitReactor.com).
Then, in 2009, Chuck increased his involvement by committing to read and review a selection of fan-written stories each month. The best stories are currently set to be published in Burnt Tongues, a forthcoming anthology, with an introduction written by Chuck himself.
His next novel, Beautiful You, is due out in October 2014.
有过这么本书 他俯身向前,他呼吸里是直接从酒瓶里灌威士忌的酒气。他嘴巴从不会闭紧。他蓝色的眼睛从来都半睁半闭。他一手拿了个盘起来的绳圈,那种老式的麻绳,金灿灿的像他的头发。黄得如同他的牛仔帽。是牛仔用的那种绳子,而且他讲话时直在我脸前摇晃手里的绳子。他背后...
评分 评分人怎么界定自己乐观还是悲观?通过认识你的人?通过自己? 人又怎么分析自己的意识?因为前一秒笑,就是开心?通过后一秒哭,就是悲伤? 生活在物质中你一定有太多厌恶和羞耻。因为唾弃钢筋水泥、光缆电器的,往往是离不开它们的人。 要知道你得到这些便利之前,你每天为之奋...

评分其实《搏击俱乐部》要讲的,压根就不是什么精神分裂之类的烂事。 书要比电影好,这是我的第一感觉。电影让我的眼球疲于追逐动态的画面,却看不到太多背后的东西。而躺在床上,合起书本,你有一整个宇宙那么多的事情可以思考。 经济学的第一堂课:你是稀缺性的...
看完电影再来读这个才理解了作者想要表达的意思
评分masterpiece
评分很久以来我都疑惑电影FC为什么可以那么疯魔而不知所云却如此底气满满,直到读了小说。在我有限的观影经历中,论吊炸天,真是无人出FC其右。
评分英文小说只读过这本还有安妮.赖斯的各种吸血鬼系列(☆_☆)
评分比电影更有意思!
