You know:
Those seeds with hard casings that when broken open look like white veined anorexic puff balls or electric globes that are owned by mad scientists, everytime you put your index finger on the glass you get a rush of feigned adrenaline. I'd chase and hunt them down all day and night (if i could see, at night) blowing around. Find the point.

By the way, cHuck is in seclusion writing his new book.

So do you go blind at night or something?

[QUOTE=UbikRex]He should really test his fanbase by coming out with a sci fi epic of strange proportions.[/QUOTE]
Well, at my library he already did. Fight Club is shelved in the sci-fi section.

[QUOTE=UbikRex]well obviously the librarians are idiots.[/QUOTE]

You're an idiot if you didn't realize that EVERY character in the book was a cyborg.
And cyborgs are science fiction... for now...

Ok ok FUck.
I've read all the CHuck P books. And I need more.
I've tried my hardest to track down insomnia: if you lived here, you'd be dead already
But to no avail.
Does anybody have any info on Chucks next book?

Thanks in advance

I got no idea, but why don't you check out the Palahniukesque writers section and Chuck's recommended reading.

There's quite a bit of discussion about Chuck's new book in this thread:

while In New York, Chuck said he was working on a book about the hot rod car culture. He's also working on a book that will stem from the instructional essays he wrote. See the Chuckshop on this website. I saw some pictures here on the Cult of Chuck and he had his head shaved. He shaves his head before he begins his final draft I believe. Sooo... looks like something is close.

Be patient. He's still writing.

Check out all the stuff on this site in the author and features section. There are articles and interviews that are great reading.

A) I'm moving this to Author
Vendetta knows all and your thread will be merged with that one.

If you want a teeny, tiny insight into Chuck's next book, check out the Seattle Times article/interview that Dennis posted on the main page the other week.

From what I hear, his next book is called Rant. Is about American car culture.

In the Seattle interview, Chuck said that he was reading the book Carrie to study how stories are told from multiple points of view. So, that is something that is REALLY interesting. I am wondering if he is going to use a bunch of different textures to tell the story, ala Carrie or The Contortionist's Handbook and all the non-fictionesque reports tossed into the story between the narrative to give you another non-biased point of view. This is really a great device if you want to let the reader see another view of the story outside of the limited vision of the first person narrator. It can add a lot of depth, and alot of real life credibility.

One of my all time favorite things in literature is when Nick read's Gatsby's book at the end of the novel, and see's his list of activities for bettering himself. What a nice last ditch glimpse into Gatsby before he was Gatsby. It humanizes him even more after he is gone.

My other thought is that maybe Chuck might go the BEE Rules of Attraction route where you have different points of view alternating chapters. I don't quite remember how that book went, but I do believe that the POV changed every chapter or something. Which is interesting.

For movies on this, I'm sure there are a billion examples, but the one that jumps out at me right away is Elephant, where you get all the different POVs and stories leading up to the school shooting. That is a neat approach. Adds lots of depth.

a little tidbit into chucks new book buddy.

[/QUOTE]Do you think it's crazy, that many of us know this lil fact, and yet and still we seldom within the full range of all we discuss on this site talk about the man himself ?

Sorry, I just had to laugh for a minute because it made me think briefly about the myriad Chuck facts that I hardly realize I know

anyway, im done now. fold.
kabol

like making necklaces for his fans with his name on it on one side and the correspondant letter person's on the other. And how he often makes chocolate cupcakes out of a happy bake oven he bought at a yard sale and delivers these baked goodies to each meetup of his writers group. I especially like the fact that he sneers at ol jewish ladies haggling at coupons and prices of merchandise at a grocery mart.

In the Seattle interview, Chuck said that he was reading the book Carrie to study how stories are told from multiple points of view.[/QUOTE]he should have done this for Haunted

oh, goodness

i figured this would be more than just a couple month bump but anyways...

i guess Chuck's "book-a-year deal" goes for paperbacks too?

with Haunted being released this summer, and Rant to come next year sometime ?

We will try and find out tomorrow.

Rant is supposed to come out next may, with the Mr Elegant story he's currently going around reading. Supposed to be some sort of fake-autobiography or whatnot
the non-fiction book is probably the collection of lessons we had on here for a couple years. that's supposed to be a "On Writing" book on minimalism co-wrote with Tom Spanbauer

A fake auto-biography seems an AWFUL lot like Bret Easton Ellis' Lunar Park.

by fake i mean Chuck writing it about some guy named Rant, not that he's writing it about himself

I think by "fake auto-biography" he means that it's not actually an autobiography at all, it's just a fictional biography. The story of someone's life done through the eyes of other people, a bit like Citizen Kane.

no, by autobiography i mean actual first person narrative autobiography, of this fictional character
but really thats what all of his books are, and also I've only read about 2 little blurbs on what he's coming out with next, so who knows
it could be a Elvis-themed cookbook for all I know

Hasn't he said in several interviews that it's the life of a person through the eyes of other people? It seems like he's trying to do something along the lines of The Great Gatsby and Citizen Kane, both of which he seems to be a fan of.

I dunno
i'm kind of hoping for the cookbook now that i mentioned it

He has said at readings, in interviews, and essays that [I]Fight Club[/I] was his [I]Great Gatsby.[/I]

Hey Scott,
I'm moving this to Author (since it's really a speculative question) and merging it with a similar thread in there.
Cheers and welcome:)

[QUOTE=Dr.Jekyll&Mr.Hyde]He has said at readings, in interviews, and essays that [I]Fight Club[/I] was his [I]Great Gatsby.[/I][/QUOTE]

So he's got his [I]Citizen Kane[/I] to do. Am I right about the 'biography through other peoples eyes' thing? I tried to find something about it in an article but had no luck.

The only mentions I've seen refer to it as a "fake [B]auto[/B]biography", so I don't know about this "other peoples eyes" thing.

maybe it'll be an autobiography of someone writing his life how other people see him !
oooooooooooo !

It could be a flickbook of someone's life from the cradle to the grave. Best flicked while listening to "My Way" by Sinatra.

I just went back and read this thread from the beginning, I had forgotten how awesome I am.

People have said, here, somewhere, (but I'm a fart in the brain as to where) that at readings he said something like, "It's narrated through the quotes of others." Meaning, everything is someone else's words other than the narrator's, which is bleeding interesting, cause it goes with the thought, "everything has been said and thought." Thing is, the quotes are from an [I]unreliable [/I]source. If it's a fake autobiography, the narrator is still distorting what others said about him, or whomever, cause he's either purposefully or subconsciously changing what they said, you can't get around that it's still subjective, his recollection of what they said.

Errrrrrrrruuummmmmm, I'm just curious to see how he pulls it off.

I would like to read a biography as told by a fictional character about a real life person.

go to the top of your screen to the "the cult" choice bar or w/e
then go to Author
then contacting chuck and read
