The October 2004 issue of Abbey's Advocate from Abbey's Bookshop mentions the latest book from Chuck Palahniuk. The title is Non-Fiction, and it's a collection of his non-fiction short stories.Synopsis: "Chuck Palahniuk's world has been, well, different from yours and mine. The pieces that comprise Nonfiction prove just how different, in ways both highly entertaining and deeply unsettling. Encounters with alternative culture heroes Marilyn Manson and Juliette Lewis; the peculiar wages of fame attendant on the big budget film production of the movie Fight Club; life as an assembly-line drive train installer by day, hospice volunteer driver by night; the really peculiar lives of submariners; the really violent world of college wrestlers; the underground world of anabolic steroid gobblers; the harrowing circumstances of his father's murder and the trial of his killer - each essay or vignette offers a unique facet of existence as lived in and/or observed by one of America's most flagrantly daring and original literary talents."
So far, I've already read Fight Club, Survivor, Invisible Monsters, Choke, and Diary. This one should prove another must-read. I hope the local library get it soon.
