Non Fiction — Chuck Palahniuk

Chuck Palahniuk s world has been well different from yours and mine The pieces that comprise Non Fiction 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
