Chuck Palahniuk... Literary GOD
5.6.2005.2
I've told you before how great Chuck Palahniuk is. Portland, OR should be super proud of the way this man writes.
I tried to explain to Holly after reading just a few pages of the new book of his called "Haunted," how he makes you fall in love immediately with his macabre cast of characters...to love them - in spite of them... and pieces together words so well.
anyway...only 150 pages in to "Haunted" (described on the book flap as a twisted combination of The Real World and "Alive" - the movie about the survivors of that Uraguayan soccer team or whatever...) I had to put it down for a second to collect my thoughts...and to write.
You MUST purchase this book. You don't HAVE to go out and buy all of his others...like I did towards the latter half of last year - and then read them all within weeks of each other. But, you might decide to do so.
This man is the Henry Miller of this generation (and at times, does him one or two better by way of sexual tension alone). Perhaps better. Perhaps more of an Edgar Allen Poe meets F. Scott Fitzgerald. Yeah. Then again, maybe it's better to say that he's leading the way to be the Patron Literary Saint (or Devil) of The New Millenium.
The storytelling is JUST. THAT. GOOD.
