The Resource Palahniuk, Chuck

Description: Chuck Palahniuk writes Literary Fiction and Horror that can astonish, outrage, horrify, and amuse at once. Readers and characters alike are goaded into states of jangled disorientation by quirky digressions and idiosyncratic riffs on the bizarre, vulgar, and fantastic. Plots may run backwards, in random sequence, or may lack a protagonist. Pacing varies from leisurely to manic in any single work. Graphic brutality, sex, and profanity abound-but the real horror of Palahniuk's world is the numbness and torpor threatening to engulf his alienated anti-heroes. Contemporary culture is brutally satirized as hollow and meaningless. Start with: Fight Club
