如果说《了不起的盖茨比》是美国爵士时代的挽歌,那么《搏击俱乐部》就是现今后工业时代的怒吼。如果说《在路上》是“垮掉的一代”年轻人的《圣经》,那么《搏击俱乐部》就是针对现今消费时代年轻人的绝望而发的宣言。不过这么说就不酷了。

Chuck Palahniuk is the author of the best-selling novels Fight Club, Survivor, Lullaby, Diary, Rant, Damned, and many other works of fiction. He lives in the Pacific Northwest.
Readers of Chuck Palahniuk's novels must gird themselves for the bizarre, the violent, the macabre, and the just plain disturbing. Having done that, they can then just enjoy the ride.
The story goes that Palahniuk wrote Fight Club out of frustration. Believing that his first submission to publishers (an early version of Invisible Monsters) was being rejected as too risky, he decided to take the gloves off, so to speak, and wrote something he never expected to see the light of day. Ironically, Fight Club was accepted for publication, and its subsequent filming by directory David Fincher earned the author an obsessive cult following.
The apocalyptic, blackly humorous story of a loner's entanglement with a charismatic but dangerous underground leader, Fight Club was the first in a series of controversial fiction that would keep Palahniuk in the spotlight. Since then, he has crafted strange, disturbing tales around unlikely subjects: a disfigured model bent on revenge (the revised Invisible Monsters) ... the last surviving member of a death cult (Survivor) ... a sex addict who resorts to a bizarre restaurant scam to pay the bills (Choke) ... a lethal African nursery rhyme (Lullaby) ... and so the list continues.
Although Palahniuk makes occasional forays into nonfiction, (e.g., Fugitives and Refugees and Stranger than Fiction), it is his novels that generate the most buzz. His outré plots and jump-cut storytelling are definitely not for everyone—some have likened them to the horrible accident you can't tear your eyes away from—but even critics can't help but be impressed by his flair for language, his talent for satire, and his sheer originality. Newsday wrote, "Palahniuk is one of the freshest, most intriguing voices to appear in a long time. He rearranges Vonnegut's sly humor, DeLillo's mordant social analysis, and Pynchon's antic surrealism (or is it R. Crumb's?) into a gleaming puzzle palace all his own."
Palahniuk has said that he has heard a lot from readers who were never readers before they saw his books, from boys in schools where his books are banned. This might be the best evidence that Palahniuk is a writer for a new age, introducing a (mostly male) audience to worlds on the page that usually only exist in technicolor nightmares.
Good To Know
Palahniuk (pronounced paul-a-nik) worked as a diesel mechanic for a trucking company before he became an author, jotting story notes for The Fight Club under trucks he was supposed to be working on.
Palahniuk's family has had a sad history of violence: His grandfather killed his grandmother and then committed suicide; later in life, his divorced father was murdered in 1999 by a girlfriend's ex-husband. The killer was convicted and sentenced to death in October, 2001. Palahniuk's book, Choke, was driven by an attempt to look at how sexual compulsion can destroy (see essay below for more).
When not working on his novels, Palahniuk has written features for Gear magazine, through which he befriended shock rocker Marilyn Manson; and is reportedly working on a script of the Katie Arnoldi novel Chemical Pink for Fight Club director David Fincher.
While writing, Palahniuk has said he listens to Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, and Radiohead.
To a reader who asked in a Barnes & Noble.com chat why the novel Invisible Monsters was not released in hardcover, Palahniuk responded: "My original request was not to have any of my books released as hardcovers b/c I felt guilty asking for over $20 for anything I had done. With Invisible Monsters I finally got my way."
Invisible Monsters was inspired by fashion magazines Palahniuk was reading at his laundromat, according to an interview with The Village Voice. "I love the language of fashion magazines. Eighteen adjectives and you find the word sweater at the end. 'Ethereal. Sacred.' I thought, Wouldn't it be fun to write a novel in this fashion magazine language, so packed with hyperbole?"

It must be chaos if I hadn't watched the film several times before reading.

【http://book.douban.com/review/5331571/】和电影比起来各有所长,小说最后结局和电影不一样。我不能比较出来孰好孰坏。顺便,纪念下Kindle Fire第一弹。

I absolutely enjoy every single bit of it. If I close my eyes, I can hear Edward Norton’s narratives. It’s so good and funny and the same time. This I would call Noir. Finished in 5 days.

感觉电影改编之后在原著基础上产生了微妙的变化,尤其结尾的处理上。原著似乎更偏向于主人格的自我拯救,太良善了;Tyler完全是男主过于压抑的生活造就的反方向,结尾太空猴子们仍旧在等待Tyler的回归的描述方式非常令人窒息,从一开始被困在精美公寓,到结尾又被困,仿佛是一个出不来的圈,某种程度上来说从一个人到一个人,并没有人得到拯救。我个人而言更喜欢电影结尾的处理方式,恰到好处,极致的浪漫主义。不得不说... 感觉电影改编之后在原著基础上产生了微妙的变化,尤其结尾的处理上。原著似乎更偏向于主人格的自我拯救,太良善了;Tyler完全是男主过于压抑的生活造就的反方向,结尾太空猴子们仍旧在等待Tyler的回归的描述方式非常令人窒息,从一开始被困在精美公寓,到结尾又被困,仿佛是一个出不来的圈,某种程度上来说从一个人到一个人,并没有人得到拯救。我个人而言更喜欢电影结尾的处理方式,恰到好处,极致的浪漫主义。不得不说Chuck的文笔非常简练有力,很喜欢穿插在行文中的I'm Joe's...句子,比喻也十分奇特而令人印象深刻,例如形容马桶里用过的condom像水母漂浮其上。很可惜的是没有能够先阅读小说,应该体验会更好。 (展开)
