Chuck Palahniuk-Guts

<< < (3/5) > >>

Trollstormur:
it's a snippet from his book Haunted. magnificent work.

Kid Modernist:
Chuck Palahniuk is a hack writer. All his main characters are the same, no matter what their background is supposed to be. He thinks writing in short sentences is awesome and emotive. And it's just pulp fiction.

OH MY GOD HE CAN TELL A REALLY GROSS STORY HE IS AWESOME.

The very first movie I ever thought was better than the book was Fight Club.

I thought the book was okay, but then I read a couple others of his and realized there was no deviation.

Cartilage Head:
I like Chuck a lot, myself!

 Anyway, to answer Johnny's question, Chuck would visit support groups when he had nothing wrong with him, and he would visit all kinds of different groups during the week, pretending to be affected with whatever the group members were. I'm guessing this support group was.. for guys who had anal prolapse?

 Chuck's doing this partially inspired Fight Club.

 At least I'm pretty sure this is how it goes.

Ghostwriter:

--- Quote from: The Wikipedia article for Haunted ---According to Palahniuk, the first two tales came from his friends' experiences and the third he heard while shadowing sexual addiction support groups. In one of these groups, he met an extremely thin man. When Palahniuk asked him how he stayed so thin, he told him "I had a massive bowel resectioning." When Palahniuk asked what he meant, he told him the story which was the basis for the third episode in 'Guts'.
--- End quote ---


There you go.

Will:
Pahlaniuk has been one fo my favorite authors since I read choke a few years ago...actually, I read that book before I realized he had written Fight Club (stupid me thought it was just a movie).  

Read his book "Refugees and Fugitives;" it's his non-fiction piece and you get a good idea where a lot of his ideas came from.

There was a story in "Haunted" that I liked better than the one about St. Gut-Free, I just can't remember which one right now
