'Tell-All' Now Out In Paperback!

'Tell-All' Now Out In Paperback!

 As of May 31st, Tell-All, Chuck's thirteenth book, is now out in paperback.  I think Random House did a great job with this new cover, which I prefer over the hardback cover.  By now most of you have already read it, but if not, here's a quick blurb from Amazon:

Tell-All is many things: A Sunset Boulevard-inflected homage to Old Hollywood when Grand Dames like Bette Davis and Joan Crawford ruled the roost. A Douglas Sirk-inspired melodrama full of big gestures and muted psychic torment. A veritable Tourette's syndrome of rat-tat-tat name-dropping, from the A-list to the Z-list. A merciless send-up of Lillian Hellman's habit of butchering the truth that will have Mary McCarthy cheering from the beyond.

You can order the book from either Amazon, Barnes & Noble or IndieBound by going to our Tell-All book page.

If you want to order the book from either Amazon UK or Canada, check out our store page.

Wanna have some fun?  After you buy the book, snap a picture of yourself holding it, while dressed in your best classic film star/starlet costume.  Best one gets a prize.  We prefer you tweet the pic to us at @chuckpalahniuk.

Italian Book Covers: Tell-All, Pygmy, Snuff, Stranger Than Fiction, Fugitives & Refugees, Diary, Choke, I. Monsters & Survivor

Tell-All Italy Pygmy Italy Snuff ItalyStranger Than Fiction Italy Fugitives & Refugees Italy Diary ItalyChoke Italy Invisible Monsters Italy Survivor Italy

Continuing our trend from last week of showcasing some of the coolest international Chuck Palahniuk covers, let's take a look at some of the recent selections from Italy.  In my opinion, Italy has long had some of the more stylish and unique covers for Chuck's books.  Unlike a lot of other countries who just use a slight variation of the U.S. cover, Italy's usually stand out on their own.  I'll even forgive them for mucking up my dedication in Lullaby, seen here as 'Tennis Widmyer.'  Sighs.

Props to Michele Ponte for sending us some of these.

Chuck Palahniuk's 1 Hour Speech at the Grub Street Writer's Conference

Somehow, this video got past us.  It's a one hour speech Chuck gave at Grub Street's writer's conference last May of 2010. This was a non-public event that actually kicked off Chuck's Tell-All tour that year.

Props to our own Mark Vanderpool for finding this one on Vimeo.

For more information about Grub Street and the conference, check them out here.

Audio: Listen to Rick Kleffel's Interview With Chuck During the Tell-All Tour

For nearly as many books as Chuck has written, journalist Rick Kleffel has conducted a thorough and enlightening audio interview with him for his site, The Agony Column Podcast.  While a little late this time around, Rick has just edited together his interview with Chuck that was recorded during last year's Tell-All tour.

Here's some words from Rick on the piece:

I spoke with Chuck in his hotel with a view of the San Francisco Bay behind him, as the tide went in under the Golden Gate Bridge. It was a pretty spectacular, but, in retrospect, having edited the damn interview — that too, turned out quite well. Chuck and I talked about the novel of course, and many of the themes it suggests; celebrity, and how we assemble our personalities out of bits kiped from our favorite performances, as it were, of those around us, or those we see.

Listen to the interview here!
