Line 2: [[File:chuckpalahniuk_autor2small.jpg\|frame\|[[Fight Club (novel)\|I am Jack's awkward smirk.]]]] ''[[Chuck Palahniuk~~'''~~]] is an American author born on February 21, 1962. He is known most for writing the novel ''[[Fight Club (novel)\|Fight Club]]'', which the movie was based on, and has since then garnered a respectable following. He has a minimalist writing style that utilizes a limited vocabulary, short sentences, and is meant to mimic the way an average person would talk when relaying a story to someone else. His stories typically start [[How We Got Here\|close to the end, with the protagonist recounting how he got there]], the events of which might also be told [[Anachronic Order\|out of chronological order]] as well. His earlier works fall under the label Transgressional Fiction, while his later works contain more horror elements. Many people feel that his work is overly nihilistic and [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism\|cynical]], and have labeled him a shock writer. Palahniuk does not believe that his work is in any way cynical or nihilistic, and has gone on record referring to himself as a Romantic—presumably the old [[Chivalric Romance]]. Line 46: ** The main character in ''[[Invisible Monsters (novel)\|Invisible Monster's]]'' jaw injury. * [[Brown Note]] - He ''wrote a real one.'' See the [[Brown Note]] page. * [[Downer Ending]] - Virtually any book that doesn't have a bittersweet end. ''[[Haunted ~~2005]]~~'' is probably the most triumphant example. ''[[Pygmy]]'' has a happy ending. Well, sort of. Palahniuk's own interpretation of ''Survivor'''s ending is fairly positive. Line 61: * [[Money, Dear Boy]] - Palahniuk's explanation for the execrable [[Fight Club (novel)\|Fight Club]] video game. To quote: "They can do whatever they want with my book as long as the fucking check clears." * [[Nietzsche Wannabe]] * [[Nightmare Face]] - The protagonist of ''[[Invisible Monsters (novel)\|Invisible Monsters]]''. One look at this [https://web.archive.org/web/20120502184200/http://chuckpalahniuk.net/files/images/news/invisible-monsters-xander-lg.jpg fan-made image] (NSFW and very disturbing) should tell you why people are so damn afraid of her. * [[No Name Given]] - The narrator of ''[[Fight Club (novel)\|Fight Club]]'' ** The protagonist of ''[[Invisible Monsters (novel)\|InvisibleMonsters]]'' is unnamed until the very end of the book.
