''[[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]].
