About the author

Chuck Palahniuk

249books131kfollowers
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鈥檚 popularity drove sales of the novel. Chuck put out two novels in 1999, Survivor and Invisible Monsters. Choke, published in 2001, became Chuck鈥檚 first New York Times bestseller. Chuck鈥檚 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 鈥淗omework Assignment鈥� 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.

I'm going to be honest, I'm starting to become less and less impressed with Palahniuk's work in general-- and it saddens me to admit this. I've read five of his books now (one non-fiction; one too plodding to even finish), and it's becoming too obvious that every character voice is exactly the same. They are all written the same, they all have the same delivery of speech and thought patterns, they are all perfectly one-dimensional. Blank, emotionless, cruel, somewhat hateful. Disenchanted with the world, anti- and asocial. There's no depth of feeling; even when Palahniuk attempts to create a characteristic turn-around, it falters and falls short (with the singular exception of Fight Club). The "hero" always knows a handful of miscellaneous facts that loosely relate to the content enough to serve as cynical metaphor (how to make soap, how to clean up evidence of violence, etc.); this miscellany is always interspersed with social commentary and scraps of dialogue, absolutely routine by now. It works for one book, creating such a by-the-book nihilistic protagonist through disjointed prose, but when every. single. character. is a misanthropic maggot, it gets old.

The writing is still "sharp," if you want to call it that, but completely formulaic. Disappointing to discover this about Palahniuk's style.

That said, this one is at least holding my attention a little more than Diary, so I'll probably finish it.

A book much better appreciated on a second reading. An early Palahniuk heavily dead-pan / dark satire on the nature of fame and worship, as well as a beautifully unnerving attack on American cults! Definitely one of the must-reads of his works. A well deserved 7 out of 12 from me, 3 points more than what I gave it when I first read it in 2003!

chuck palahniuk will mess you up. he messed me up. 'fight club' put chuck on the map, but in my opinion, 'survivor' is where he really earned his paycheck.

as others have mentioned, the book starts on page 247 or so and goes backwards to page 1. a simple, but clever gimmick that made me buy the book in the first place. and since the novel's protagonist, if we can call him that, is on a doomed airplane, the page numbering is highly appropriate.

palahniuk expertly traces one man's rise to fame. tender branson is the sole survivor of 'the creedish cult' who decide to stage their own johnstown massacre. consequently he becomes something of a media darling, everyone wanting a piece of the action. palahniuk illustrates just how really susceptible we americans are to clever marketing and the completely ridiculous idea of celebrity. what, exactly, is our fascination with 'celebrities' and hollywood types? i started thinking about the ridiculous number of tv shows dedicated to following celebrities: et, access hollywood, celebrity justice, etc, etc, etc, and not to mention an entire tv channel (E!) devoted to a shoving unrealistic hopes, dreams, and ideals down the throats of the every day, average american who has no hopes of ever achieving 'the hollywood life.' i'm pretty sure hollywood is ruining america.

i think palahniuk's masterstroke, however, is showing us tender branson's 'book of prayer.' it's a sorry commentary on the state of christianity in america. so-called 'christians' who actually try to sell prayers. unreal. (and this from a VERY christian individual) it wouldn't be as funny if it weren't true. he shows our proclivity to bandwagon, to flock to 'the new thing' simply because it's 'the new thing,' regardless of it's actual value or merit.

chuck palahniuk isn't for the faint of heart. like i said, he'll mess you up. this book stayed with me for weeks after reading it. it'll do the same for you. but i don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.

a biting commentary on contemporary american culture.

When you open this it soon becomes bewildering. It's impossible to find continuity between one page and another. It took me about fifteen minutes to discover the trick of reading it. You have to start at the last page and read backwards from right to left. The narrator is one of the last surviving members of a religious death cult and those few who didn't commit suicide at the appointed hour are being hunted down and murdered. He tells his story from the cockpit of a plane he has hijacked and which will crash when it runs out of fuel.

It's a madcap and often very wise and funny satire of the modern world and its support system. My only reason for deducting a star was occasionally I felt Palahniuk got carried away with his searing lunatic vision. One image I'll never forget is the detailed instructions on how to eat a lobster. It's one of those most macabre horrifying things I've ever read!

Chuck Palahniuk is my guilty pleasure. His books aren鈥檛 good or anything but I just like reading them ironically. They鈥檙e palate cleansers y鈥檏now. This one is basically Chuck trying to write Fight Club again but it isn鈥檛 really working. It鈥檚 handy that the page numbers are backwards because then you know how many pages are left. Ugh. It鈥檚 fine.

Palahnuik has a formula to his story-writing, and it's becoming more and more clear that every work becomes less and less impressive upon further examination. Every main character seems plagued by the same sense of nihilism and self-defeat like his Fight club protagonist, as well as the same delivery of speech, and thought patterns.

So. After reading about 3 books in a row with this consistent formula, I was about ready to abandon my faith in him.

But. Then I read this book, and what a fresh breath of air it was. Yes, it applied the formula. Yes, it had the same nihilistic, disenchanted, one-dimensional main character, but it also didn't try to surprise me with the ending like most of his books usually do. (i.e. 'Lullaby', 'Diary', and 'Choke')

I truly believe that because of this, the novel was saved from being a duplicate, boring disaster. This book was compelling, albeit slow to start. You really won't feel interested until probably half-way through. But it's well worth the wait.

If there's two books you read from this author, I would suggest 'Fight Club', and 'Survivor'. In that order.

YouTube kanal谋mda G枚steri Peygamberi kitab谋n谋 枚nerip yeralt谋 edebiyat谋n谋 anlatt谋m:

Bu incelemeyi be臒en. Bu hesab谋 takip et. Bu kitab谋 oku. Ahlak bek莽ili臒i yap. Mutlulu臒uma ortak ol, 莽眉nk眉 sen de mutlu olmak istiyorsun, biliyorum.

Bu incelemede sana g枚steri peygamberli臒i yapaca臒谋m. Sana ne yapman gerekiyorsa hepsini ben s枚yleyece臒im, 莽眉nk眉 senin ald谋臒谋n kararlar bug眉ne kadar pek mant谋kl谋 de臒ildi. Bunu en iyi sen biliyorsun. Ama maalesef yine en iyi sen bilmiyorsun. Kendi d眉艧眉nce evrenini kendi kendine olu艧turabilece臒in s枚ylenmedi, bu y眉zden sen de onaylanmak, be臒enilmek, tan谋nmak ve s谋radan olmamak istedin. 脟眉nk眉 mutlu olan ve s谋radan olmayan insan谋 severlerdi, bilirdin.

Olay sadece ne kadar g枚z眉n senin 眉st眉nde olmas谋yla ilgili, olay sadece bu incelemenin be臒eni butonuna t谋klad谋臒谋n ve benim dediklerimi onaylad谋臒谋n kadar谋yla s谋n谋rl谋. 脟眉nk眉 be臒eni butonuna t谋klad谋臒谋nda esas kalbinden ge莽en duyguyu de臒il s谋rf be臒eni butonuna dokunmak i莽in bunu yapt谋臒谋n zamanlar oldu臒unu sen de 莽ok iyi biliyorsun. Gerisi benim yeralt谋 d眉nyam.

Umar谋m 艧u ana kadar duymak istediklerini s枚ylebilmi艧imdir, 莽眉nk眉 seni mutsuz edecek ve esas ger莽eklerin fark谋na varman谋 sa臒layacak 艧eyler s枚ylemeyi istemem. Seni yeralt谋ndaki sakl谋 d眉nyamla tan谋艧t谋rmak istiyorum...

Evet, bu kitaptaki Creedish gibi bir tarikat ya da mezhebe ba臒l谋 olmayabilirim. Fakat size sadece duymak istediklerinizi s枚ylememle ve s谋radan olmad谋臒谋m谋 kan谋tlamamla bana tapma ihtimalinizin bulundu臒unu biliyor musunuz? Ben, 艧u an bir tarikat kurup, ba艧谋ma da 艧eyhlik yapacak bir g枚steri peygamberi bulsayd谋m sizin m眉rit olmaman谋z i莽in geriye hi莽bir sebep kalmam谋艧 olurdu. 脟眉nk眉 medyan谋n benim 莽谋karlar谋ma bu kadar yard谋m etti臒i bir 莽a臒da 莽ok rahat manip眉le edilebilirsin, 莽ok 莽abuk beynin y谋kanabilir ve toplumun sorgulamadan onaylad谋臒谋 bir insana Tanr谋 枚zellikleri atfedebilirsin.

Evet atfedebilirsin, 莽眉nk眉 Hitit mitolojisindeki yeralt谋 d眉nyas谋 da b枚yledir. Yeralt谋na inmek onlar i莽in sadece 枚lmekle m眉mk眉n oldu臒u gibi geriye canl谋 olarak 莽谋kmak Tanr谋 bile olunsa m眉mk眉n de臒ildi mesela. Bir kere g枚steri peygamberi oldun mu, art谋k m眉rit toplamaya ve beyin y谋kamaya bakmal谋s谋n. Ne kadar 莽ok y谋kanm谋艧 beyin varsa elinde de o kadar g眉莽 var demektir.

Evet g眉莽 var demektir, 莽眉nk眉 Yunan mitolojisindeki yeralt谋 d眉nyas谋 da b枚yledir. Zalim bir tanr谋 olan Hades鈥檌n h眉k眉m s眉rd眉臒眉, g枚lgeler halindeki 枚l眉lere terk edilmi艧, her girenin kabul edildi臒i ama bir daha asla d谋艧ar谋 b谋rak谋lmad谋臒谋 ac谋mas谋zl谋kla y枚netilen bir d眉nyad谋r yerin alt谋. Ben hen眉z o kadar ac谋mas谋z olmay谋 ba艧aramad谋m.

Sana bu kitaptaki gibi yalanc谋 陌sal谋k yapmak istemem, 莽眉nk眉 yeralt谋, hem Bat谋'da hem de Anadolu鈥檇a karanl谋k 莽谋kar hesaplar谋n谋n g枚r眉ld眉臒眉 yer olarak bilinir. E臒er aram谋zda karanl谋k herhangi bir 莽谋kar g眉tme olsayd谋 ad谋m谋z okur olmazd谋 zaten. Palahniuk'un kurgulad谋臒谋 yeralt谋 d眉nyas谋n谋n asl谋nda dini e臒itim sistemlerine, klon 莽ocuklar yeti艧tirmenin sebebi olan niteliksiz e臒itim sistemlerine ve salt haz odakl谋 modernist topluma ele艧tiri oldu臒unu da anlayamazd谋n.

Se莽im tamamen senin, bu bir metro reklam谋 de臒il. Yeralt谋n谋 yanl谋艧 anlamamal谋s谋n ve bu incelemeyi be臒enmelisin. 脟眉nk眉 yapman gerekenler sana s枚ylenmeden bir 艧ey yapam谋yorsun. Korkaks谋n. Zaten bu kitaptaki ba艧 karakter olan Tender'谋n kelime anlam谋 da, gen莽 ve zay谋f demek. Sen de 枚ylesin, zay谋fs谋n ve seni g眉莽l眉 hissettirecek ego tatminleri istiyorsun. 厂辫颈谤颈迟眉别濒颈锄尘 istiyorsun. Sevgi ve 谋艧谋k istiyorsun. Cinselli臒in kap谋lar谋n谋n kilitli oldu臒u bir ev istiyorsun.

鈥漈esting, testing. One, two, three.鈥�
This plane is going down, but before it does Tender Branson is going to tell you his tale. He will lay it all out and explain, if he can, just how he ended up here alone to die like the fellow Creedish brethren before him, though in far bigger fashion. The how is pretty out there. The why is more so. Who he is may make you hate him, but probably not.

While reading this Palahniuk story, I happened to think of Philip K. Dick. They don't write in the same voice, or even about the same topics, but both have spin (spun) plots as imagined and fantastical as I've read, with each being grounded in social questions and reasoning. I cannot claim to explain every detail within their stories, and you know, maybe that's just the way of it. I will tell you that Survivor is a dark, often funny, satiric comedy about those fifteen minutes of fame people often seek, or create. Palahniuk doesn't seem to write a book that doesn't use satire. The vice here is ultra commercialism (in this world, don't we know all about it?), and the excess we find in just about anything these days. It's all explained by way of Tender Branson's rise from nothing-to-something, him being the last remaining member of a fanatical religious sect, whether it's his idea or not, whether he wants it or not. Sound unusual? It is.

PS. People say that the ending may not be what you think. I didn't see it that way. Then I read that I was wrong.

You will like this story if:
1) You enjoy anti-social, nihilistic, misanthropic, sociopathic protagonists.
2) If you desire to have someones (the authors) narrative of socio-political dogma and doctrines drilled into your ear in a very repetitious, ridiculous and unbelievable package disguised as a story.

There are moments when the story has a bite of sarcasm that can be found amusing. It's just unfortunate that it's repeated ad nauseam.

I actually felt dumber after reading this book. There was very little to like about the story. It's violent, vulgar and often disgusting. There is absolutely nothing to be gained by reading this story. Do yourself a favor and read the contents of a soup can. ;-) 1 star, for the nice silver cover.

I can't be entirely objective when it comes to this book, but hear me out.

Of course I watched Fight Club in 1999. It gave a name to all of the existential dread I felt at the time as a homeschooled Mormon teen who was just starting to realize something was wrong with my upbringing. I was about to turn fifteen, so I couldn鈥檛 yet see an R rated movie on my own, but my brother was nine years older and took me to see it with his boss and his boss's boss's hyper-evangelical teenage son. The options at the theater were slim: Bringing Out the Dead, The Omega Code (evangelical kid had already seen it, of course), and something called Fight Club that nobody knew anything about. My brother and I pushed hard for Fight Club, and his boss was the swing vote.

This movie rocked evangelical kid to his core. I remember he walked out of there with a thousand yard stare, looking like he wanted nothing more than to go home and beg forgiveness. For me it was kind of an awakening. I latched on hard to the counter-capitalist, anti-marketing, anarchist, fuck you attitude it embodied and lived on those fumes for the next few years. I had finally found something that I related with. I wanted more, as soon as possible. But mostly, I wanted to understand the themes and how they related to my experience.

My girlfriend at the time was busy being dragged across Ireland by her uber-wealthy high school friend on vacation, and I had nothing else to do but work my full time job as a prep cook in a psuedo-restaurant in the mall (not strictly legal at fifteen, but they didn't care, until they were fined for breaking child labor laws), make bad ripoffs of Crystal Method and Prodigy songs in demoscene trackers on my family's Pentium II, and drive around in my 1987 Ford Tempo, blowing my disposable income on cheap clothes and entertainment. It was around this time I learned that Fight Club was based on a novel by Chuck Palahniuk.

At that point in my life, I wasn't a big reader. Publishers hadn't yet realized that YA was a marketable category, so instead of the ridiculous variety of options teens have now, I faced a huge gulf between kids鈥� books and adult books, neither sounding interesting to me. With the new found freedom of my driver鈥檚 license and a barely functioning vehicle, I drove to Barnes and Noble and picked up a copy of Survivor, newly out in paperback.

I devoured it.

It fed the still small voice in me that was saying 鈥淵ou鈥檙e in cult鈥� and 鈥淭his is not normal鈥�. Of course, my upbringing wasn鈥檛 nearly as harrowing as Tender Branson鈥檚, but Survivor was a safe way for me to explore the darker corners of my world, and my own experience through the lens of something much worse.

More than twenty years later I鈥檓 finally rereading Survivor, and it鈥檚 impossible to not experience it as a period piece of the late nineties/early aughts. The consumerism and problems of the late nineties that it is concerned with come across as quant compared to the myriad problems facing Zoomers today. It鈥檚 almost adorable now, considering how unbelievably fucked the world has become in the last twenty-two years. The core of the story still works though, which is a character dealing with disillusionment, desire, and sudden celebrity in a world that seems entirely alien to them.

This could be made into an unbelievably engaging TV series. It is so ripe with adaptive potential. For a while in 2001 Francis Lawrence had optioned the rights, and Trent Reznor reached out, looking to get into film scoring, and then 9/11 cancelled any project that involved plane crashes. It bounced around from producer to producer over the last two decades, never getting off the ground. At one point, Fight Club screenwriter Jim Uhls was even attached to it. In late 2019 it finally found its way back to Lawrence, who announced that he was planning to approach it as a TV series. Hopefully he remembers and reaches back out to Reznor, now one half of the most in demand composer duo in the world, to bring the score to life.

That is, of course, if it can gain flight this time.

In the meantime, if you鈥檙e looking for a peek into what was going on among the collective dissatisfied counter-culturalists of the late nineties, Survivor is a brisk, worthy read. You can probably knock it out in an afternoon. Just be prepared for a lot of repetition, nihilistic malaise, and general unsatisfiedness from all characters present and accounted for.

Dial back the clock twenty years. It鈥檚 a fun ride.

Uno, due, tre. Prova.
Uno, due, tre. Prova. Prova.
Forse quest'affare funziona. Non lo so. Neanche so se riuscite a sentirmi.
Ma sono qui per raccontarvi la sua storia, la storia di Tender Branson. Tender che non 猫 il suo nome ,ma lo status datogli dalla setta Creedish in cui 猫 cresciuto, dove 猫 stato indottrinato per 17 anni, dove il suo scopo nella vita era servire il mondo, lavorare per "quelli di fuori" come schiavo. Gi脿 uno schiavo della vita e dalla quale non ha avuto nulla fino allo sterminio di massa che l'ha reso l'ultimo...il sopravvissuto.
Fin dalle prime pagine Tender entrer脿 a pugni tesi nella tua di vita, ti prender脿 a scarpate sugli stinchi e ti far脿 dire :" Come costruisce anti eroi Palahniuk nessuno mai" e qui di anti eroi non c'猫 solo il povero, sfigato, stupido, plagiato Tender, ma anche Fertility. Una ragazza straordinaria nella sua stranezza, certo non poteva che essere cos矛.
Chuck riesce ad inserire in tutti i suoi libri temi molto delicati e lo fa con un umorismo nero tutto suo. Anticonformista, narcisista e accomodante 猫 la societ脿 descritta, ma qui parliamo soprattutto di un mondo dove la fede viene sfruttata. In un mondo che cade a pezzi, la gente cerca un messia, un salvatore e se non lo trova lo crea.

C'猫 gente pronta a morire per i brutti voti a scuola. Per i litigi in famiglia. Per i problemi col fidanzato.
脠 soltanto con le droghe o con la morte che vediamo qualcosa di nuovo, e la morte 猫 un po' troppo definitiva. La nostra sfiducia nel futuro ci rende difficile il distacco dal passato.
No, tutti pensano che la loro vita dovrebbe essere divertente almeno quanto la masturbazione.
Nella toilette dove sto io c'猫 scritto, Storia della mia vita.
Accanto c'猫 scritto, Baciami il culo.
Accanto c'猫 scritto, Con piacere.
Sul muro 猫 inciso, Sai come finiscono sia la vita che i film porno. L'unica differenza 猫 che la vita comincia con un orgasmo.

Amen

A morbid dark sense of humour required for this one. Like Fight Club, this is a full frontal satire that attacks from all sides - death cults , body image, celebrity & fame, religion, consumerism, greed, nihilism, porn, diet, messiahs, face creams, steroids, the media, and more.

I actually preferred this to Fight Club. Its darkly comic vibes hit in all the right places, I found this a lot harsher, more disturbing, more poignant - yup, chuck can be poignant too - and razor-edged when it comes to sarcasm. Chuck always seems to throw in a surprise when it comes to novel structure, and here it's in the form of descending page numbers. This works great, as basically it's a count down. And yes, the cover is a big give away. It's a wild ride at times, and yet never loses its awareness when it comes to holding a mirror up against the modern world and human nature.

I loved it. Chuck had me right from its opening few sentences. I stand up and give him a one man round of applause. This is some 100 pages longer than Fight Club and yet it whizzed on by. When I think of him in general though after six novels, he is still very much hit and miss for me.

Cat (te) costa sa fii celebru? te intreaba Palahniuk in acest roman.
Autorul este baiatul rebel al literaturii cu romanul sau cult "Fight Club", devenit un fel de biblie al nonconformistilor, o carte originala si provocatoare ce a fost refuzata de edituri fiind considerata "prea intunecata si prea riscanta".
Romanul de fata il are in prim plan pe Tender Branson care tocmai deturneaza un Boeing, debarca pasagerii si pilotul sub amenintarea pistolului si ramane singur in avionul condus de pilotul automat. Mai are combustibil cat pentru 7 ore de zbor si curand va incepe sa piarda rand pe rand din cele 4 motoare.
Tender incepe sa-si spuna povestea vietii care se inregistreaza in cutia neagra a avionului. Aflam astfel ca a crescut intr-o colonie parohiala, intr-un fel de secta, de unde pleaca la 17 ani si incepe sa faca curatenie prin casele bogatilor (Numele sau vine de la verbul "tend"). Se pare ca este ultimul Supravietuitor dintre toti cei care au parasit colonia, caci cu totii ori s-au sinucis ori au fost omorati de un criminal in serie.
Intre timp se indragosteste de Felicity, o tipa care il considera urat si ratat, insa are o capacitate aparte: poate sa prevada dezastrele inainte sa se intample. Cei doi au obiceiul sa se duca la locul dezastrelor ca niste observatori si aici ne aducem aminte de Fight Club si de Rant.
Fiind ultimul Supravietuitor Tender ajunge celebru si apare la televizor, la radio - peste tot; curand are propria lui carte, emisiune, reclame - tot pachetul de celebritate. El devine astfel un fel de superstar pop, un fel de Mesia. Evident, cu asta vine si transformarea: i se pun botox, implant de par, dinti de portelan, slabeste, are patratele la abdomen, bronz la solar, haine de branduri celebre la vedere, etc. - o transformare in plastic atat de ceruta in ziua de azi.
Romanul este inedit, capitolele si paginile sunt numerotate invers, asadar citim romanul de la coada la cap. Este amuzant, ironic, inteligent, creativ, original si foarte distractiv. O satira foarte reusita a culturii pop, a mass-mediei americane si a celebritatii.
Desigur ca s-ar putea face un film foarte reusit dupa acest roman, dar in ziua de azi nu se mai pot face filme care sa deschida ochii maselor...
Tender este simpatic si are indeletniciri amuzante a la Tyler Durden ori Rant. Enumar cateva pe care le-am retinut:
- arunca pastila de Valium pestisorului din acvariu pentru ca acesta inota "ca disperatul".
- se angajeaza la McDonald's pentru ca acolo sunt recrutate fete de diferite rase si verificate sa nu aiba boli venerice. I se pare ca e mai sigur sa agati asa decat de pe strada.
- oamenii il suna cand vor sa se sinucida ca sa-i convinga sa se razgandeasca, insa el le spune sa se grabeasca odata cu sinuciderea caci nu poate sa gateasca snitele cu o singura mana. :)
- fura flori artificiale de la morminte pe care le planteaza in gradinile unde lucreaza drept gradinar. Periodic le revopseste si parfumeaza. Oamenii nu observa ca florile nu sunt vii si se mandresc cu gradinile lor.
- cumpara din magazine o cutie de vopsea in care doseste un obiect valoros, caci stie ca razele X de la scannerul de securitate nu trec prin cutia de fier a vopselei.
- recomanda sa duci o pisica bolnava de leucemie la veterinar pentru ca acesta ii prescrie steroizi superiori asemanatori cu cei umani. Astfel faci rost de aceste suplimente la discretie.
In incheiere atasez mai multe citate inteligente si oarecum amuzante ca 'ponturi pentru agatat':
"Nimeni nu vrea de fapt sa-si rezolve problemele. Dramele. Disperarile. Sa-si aline necazurile. Sa scape de toate porcariile. Daca ar face-o ce le-ar mai ramane? Doar ditamai necunoscutul, mare si infricosator."
"Ii spun ca lumea nu-i asa de frumoasa incat sa merite sa traiasca si sa sufere. De fapt, nu prea e nimic de capul lumii asteia."
"Iar orice gentleman care a fost vreodata zgariat de inelul cu diamant al unei doamne care i-a aplicat un dos de palma trebuie sa stie ca un creion hemostatic opreste sangerarea."
"Asa ca am un plan, un plan teribil: s-o fac sa ma urasca si, totodata, sa se indragosteasca de mine. O contraseductie. S-o fac sa nu se simta deloc atrasa de mine."
"Marele meu plan nu presupune sa arat bine. Marele meu plan presupune sa arat ca si cum as ascunde un potential imens."
"Iti dai seama ca n-are rost sa faci nimic daca nu e cineva care sa te priveasca."
"Potrivit agentului, secretul ca sa ajungi celebru e sa spui tot timpul da."

Vonnegut,Kozinski,Christopher Moore and now Chuck Pahlaniuk have tapped the black humour of all the mainstream sacred cows, with stylish grace and the prescient ability to extrapolate the consequences of our most innocuous acts.

Another commonality: they all have the uncanny ability to transform our feelings for their ungainly, unlikely, unlikable, sometimes even rather repulsive oddball freak heroes from clinically detached to warm and fuzzy. Quite a class act.

We may not like them, but they are us. No matter that we are not flitting about in our private jet nor yet hijacking someone else's flight, not slogging through dense undergrowth or along remote mountain passes, we can see the logic in the extreme actions of the characters, and can easily place ourselves in the action.

If you can get past the truly awful bits at the beginning and want to know anything more about a powertripping,manipulative, emotionally stunted slob, you may read on to reluctantly accept that this is an apt archetype for the kind of people the system (church,state, and economic)are churning out. CP has brilliantly exposed the paradoxes of power and the vacuum in the soul of American culture.

CP's irony is consistently in your face but he can also be subtle. His trick of pagination starting at the beginning of the end with the countdown to zero, was not something GR could handle. My reading graph for this book is hilarious. But how fitting the metaphor for societies negative progress.

The Irony of Names...
First, the irony of Tender being the generic name for boys brought up to obey without question,the authority and the rules instilled in them by their elders.This entailed suppression of all the qualities, compassion, emotional depth and sensitivity to ones own as well as primarily the feelings of others,that most prominently define the original meaning of the word.
That Our Hero continues to use this name, almost as a pseudonym,even when discarding his uniform of faith, confirms his passive/accepting character. He is lost without instructions, yet he feeds on praise and goes through severe withdrawal when deprived of his audience.

That our unflappable heroine, the plucky and prescient Fertility Hollis, believes that she is sterile,gives her the protection she requires for the most distressing aspect of her job as a surrogate mother, the possibility of actually having to conceive and carry off a pregnancy. I think CP is rubbing it in here with his imagery of a depraved and barren aspect of the abundance that surrounds us, always hungry for more. I found it rather chilling that Fertility achieved her blase attitude to the disasters she predicted by accepting the fact that it was useless to warn people because not only would they not believe her, they would question her ability.

It is interesting to note the wide variety of responses posted for this book on GR.I can see that some people might get bogged down in being offended. I thought it was great reading and a wickedly accurate assessment of the situation here as it is evolving.

There are also scattered about this terrific, provocative book some really basic and practical helpful hints for stain removal and basic household micro management.

ancak, en az fight club kadar sistem kar艧谋t谋, ve en az onun kadar sars谋c谋 bir roman谋 daha var: g枚steri peygamberi.

palahniuk, bizi bu 鈥渮avall谋鈥� 眉nl眉n眉n dram谋 ile ba艧ba艧a b谋rak谋yor.

""And he has these gross little monkey hands."
Right now, getting killed would be a breath of spring.
"That's supposed to mean he has a little wiener dick."
If Fertility keeps talking, my caseworker will have one less client in the morning.
"And he's not obese," Fertility says, "he's not a whale, but he's too fat for me."
In case there's a sniper outside, I open the blinds and stand my gross obese body in the window. Please, anybody with a rifle and a scope. Shoot me right here. Right in my big fat heart. Right in my little Wiener."

Oh Chuck. what the f...? I love it. I can get a great discussion on comedy and tragedy from Dante if I want, but in this 21st century I think I prefer Palahniuk's version. Chuck doesn't deliver thoughts, emotions, real life experiences with kid gloves. No, he throws them right in your face like a big cream pie.

If I wanted a discussion on the negative liabilities of religion and ensuing corporate greed I could browse some Dawkins. But again... I very much enjoy Chuck's version.

A satirical punch in the gut look at cults and the flock of sheep that follow modern days greener grass.

This is my 5th Palahniuk novel and I am starting to think I would like to read all his novels.

"If you worry about disaster all the time, that's what you're going to get"

Ovo je bila turbulentna vo啪nja!

Na po膷etku romana Palahniuk je napisao napomenu: "The books are never about what you think they are about", i da je ovaj roman ponajvi拧e o (ameri膷kom) 拧kolskom sustavu koji djecu u膷i da se uklope i budu dobri radnici, odnosno: "to be the best possible cogs in some big corporate machine", a ne da razmi拧ljaju svojom glavom i osnuju svoje firme i upravljaju svojim 啪ivotom. Iako i nije ba拧 o tome. Roman obradjuje dvije teme: 1. 拧ta se de拧ava kada se vjerskoj zajednici dopusti da imaju potpunu kontrolu nad edukacijom djece, 2. kako je dru拧tvo opsjednuto slavnim osobama.

鈥淒id perpetual happiness in the Garden of Eden maybe get so boring that eating the apple was justified?鈥�

Roman je satira pa su neki dijelovi karikirani pa i nadrealni, ima tu i paranormalnog, ma ima svega i zabavno je, ali mislim da se malo previ拧e udaljio od realnosti da bi ovo bila ozbiljna kritika bilo 膷ega. Tako膽er se ponavlja... i ponavlja. 膶ak i dobra fora postane naporna kada dodaje punchline na punchline.

No, op膰enito mi se svi膽a njegov stil pisanja. Jednostavan je i 啪ivahan. Palahniuk u svoje romane uvijek ubaci zanimljive informacije ili pri膷e koje 膷uje od poznanika i prijatelja. Podsjetio me na Camusa i njegovog Stranca kojeg sam nedavno 膷itao i to ne samo po jednostavnom stilu pisanja nego i po nejasno definiranom glavnom liku. Kasnije sam pro膷itao da je i sam Palahniuk naveo Camusa kao jednog od svojih glavnih uzora.

鈥淪ince change is con颅stant, you won颅der if peo颅ple crave death be颅cause it鈥檚 the on颅ly way they can get any颅thing re颅al颅ly fin颅ished.鈥�

Dakle, roman svakako vrijedi pro膷itati. Kratak je i ima tu stvarno za svakoga pone拧to. Kritizira ono za 拧to mislim da bi i trebao kritizirati, no likovi i radnja jednostavno nisu dovoljnu uvjerljivi i zanimljivi da bi me potpuno uvukli i zainteresirali. Tako da je ovo slaba 膷etvorka. Mo啪da bi bolje funkcioniralo kao malo du啪i esej.

鈥淚 shvatite kako nam upravo nepovjerenje spram budu膰nosti toliko ote啪ava odricanje od pro拧losti. Ne mo啪emo se odre膰i vlastite ideje o tome tko smo bili. Svi oni odrasli koji se igraju arheologa po buvljacima i tragaju za predmetima iz djetinjstva, igricama, 膷ovje膷e ne ljuti se - svi redom su prestravljeni. Sme膰e se pretvara u sveta膷ke relikvije. Monopoli. Hula-hop. Nostalgija za onim 拧to bacamo u otpad samo je prikaz na拧eg straha pred vlastitim razvojem.鈥�

鈥淧eople don't want their lives fixed. Nobody wants their problems solved. Their dramas. their distractions. Their stories resolved. Their messes cleaned up. Because what would they have left? Just the big scary unknown.鈥�
鈥� Chuck Palahniuk, Survivor

Survivor Chuck Palahniuk , a brain parked funny as hell story, a wound up so tight virgin Tender Branson the whiniest, wimpiest, complainiest guy ever created, sole survivor of a mass suicide religious cult reminisences his short life while his hijacked plane slowly runs out off fuel and you know crashes. Its pretty much got it all, cynicism, sarcasism, narcism, sexism, few other isms I can't remember, bit of pyschology astrology, supernatural predictions, bible bashing, you know all that good crazy as heck fluffy stuff, enjoyable as a 3rd wheel, like watching a train crash in slow motion.

Kind of similar but not really to the cult film, Fight Club, one with Brad Pitt, the one with the big rule, first rule of fight club you don't talk about fight club, haha really. The similarities and differences are a treat, so many one liners full gambit from crap to really crap. Dark Comedy at its 80s Young ones best mostly.

The only Palahniuk book I've read to date is "Fight Club" - and that is such a great book with such a great movie adaptation (watched it before I read it btw).

"Survivor" was an interesting story, with the (somewhat gimmicky) page numbers going backwards (to compel you to get to the end?). Haha. What was this about? A poke at marketing-driven franchises? The sorry state of money driven religions/churches? A handbook of cleaning tips (a part of me was hoping for the secrets of the removal of chewing gum from clothes would be mentioned somewhere - no such luck, I was tempted to take notes though)?

The voice is actually quite similar to "Fight Club" in feel. Endless rattling of anecdotal statistics/facts in between commentaries and it even has it's own version of Marla and Tyler Durden type characters.

Quite an interesting read actually. Liked it.

Writing: 5, Story: 3, Cleaning tips: 4 (chewing gum, man, chewing gum!). So... 4?

I am interested to see how Palahniuk's other titles read now, I wonder if they all sound 'similar'. Hmm...

I wasn't expecting much out of this one, but I was pleasantly surprised. I wasn't aware I was reading Palahniuk's love letter to Vonnegut. The crazy plot and characters, the odd narration style, and the whole thing is stuffed with social commentary disguised as humor. It was a backward rollercoaster from start to finish, with no pauses in between. It only gets more frantic as you dive further into it. This requires a re-read to fully understand the insanity that is the Creedish way of life.
