ideas, suggestions ... anything. in the dissertation, I intend to prove that Palahniuk does not destroy the traditions of the world classical literature, but instead follows them, although in his own way.And that he says about the deep, global problems are not always visible from the first time.
may be, you would suggest what problem to consider, may be worth looking archetypes, something interesting, concerning not only social issues. or you would tell me in which section I can find something useful on my issue.

its very cool that the basis of ur thesis is Palahniuk. I think all modern writing draw their root from "classical literature", so I dont think there any destruction but rather an evolution in Palahniuk's work. Probably you can research on some of his early influences, authors and books he read that shaped the way he writes today. The subject matter he chooses is one reason his stories are so unique.

If the above makes any sense..

Good luck !

You could probably try to find a copy of that book of fight club essays that came out a couple years ago. good a place to start as anywhere, i suppose.

You Do Not Talk About Fight Club:
I Am Jack's Completely Unauthorized Essay Collection

thanks a lot!!! As I understand, this book i can only buy? Does it be downloaded from the I-net?
and how do you think is it possible to write a letter to Palahniuk himself?))

I don't know anything about downloading books online. Maybe you can get it for that Kindle?
I think you can send Chuck a letter c/o his agent. I don't recall his exact name at the moment but you should be able to find it somewhere on here. If that doesn't work maybe send it to his publisher.
Good luck.

I'd imagine that's more for fan mail type correspondence, no?
not necessarily if someone was trying to get in touch with him for an interview or whatnot.

"Chuck Palahniuk is currently not accepting fan mail of any sort." (с)

Shoot, it's very bad, but what can i do ...

Well, thank you all for the information!I will try.I hope that he will someday open a window for letters. Worst of all, I'm not even a his fan, and even don't like modern literature, but i have to write..
Thanks!

you should write on why it's men only who read his literature and because their dad's have abandoned them.

The will. It's the will of the supervisor. The supervisor has imposed his will.
