Publisher Description
Chuck Palahniuk's world has always been, well, different from yours and mine. These pieces from
Stranger Than Fiction, his first nonfiction collection, 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 underground world of iron-pumping anabolic steroid gobblers; the immensely upsetting 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 our most flagrantly daring and original literary talents.

A Slice of an Unreal Life
These real stories provide a glimpse as to where Palahniuk gets his ideas, both for plot and for characters. Humourous and shocking, much like his fiction, "Stranger Than Fiction" is a pleasure to read. Highly enjoyable.
