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.
认同感及其他 ——《搏击俱乐部》 1. 极少有小说像《搏击俱乐部》那样给人如此诡异的感觉。捧在手里,它是如此之轻——这倒可以轻易做到,不过是采用印刷纸张的缘故罢了——但很少有小说会像它那么有力量,读完后让你想脱掉上衣,找个陌生人打上一架,尝尝那种拳拳见血的感觉,...
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 评分 评分时间可以把很多优秀的东西变得平庸,也可以把某一时间点上的优秀的东西推证为经典。《搏击俱乐部》的第一版如今已经卖到了500美元的高价,而这不过就是十来年间的事儿,供需落差反映了一个现实:一本不被人看好的蓝领工人的小说处女作,到后来被发现是一本几十年不遇的可以改变...
