Interview: Chuck Palahniuk By Jeff Sartain 16 October 2006 www.jeanmarmeisse.com , Paris 2006;
Used with permission. A former semi-truck mechanic with a degree in journalism, Chuck Palahniuk broke out as a major figure in American literature shortly after David Fincher adapted his first novel, Fight Club , into a film starring Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and Helena Bonham Carter. Two more of his books, Survivor and Invisible Monsters , were immediately published coinciding with the release of the film, and a meteoric rise to literary fame began. Proving he wasn't a one-hit wonder, Palahniuk published Choke in 2001 to rave reviews and massive public acceptance, debuting at number ten on the New York Times Bestseller List. Since Choke , though, Palahniuk's fiction has taken a decidedly darker turn since he contracted with Doubleday to produce a triad of horror novels. Lullaby Diary , and, most recently, Haunted make up his initial speculative fiction offerings. Palahniuk is currently working on a book of essays about his minimalist style of writing, which is the culmination of two years of a public Writers Workshop that he held at his official website . This summer he is also finishing his eighth novel
