He's actually gay and he had to out himself because a journalist was about to and he didn't want to give her the story.

His father was murdered and they let him determine the killer's sentence. Palahniuk had the killer executed.

He feuded with famed beta leftist site Salon, wrote them an angry email saying "Until you can create something that captivates people, I'd invite you to just shut up. It's easy to attack and destroy an act of creation. It's a lot more difficult to perform one."

Just some cool stuff I read about him on Wikipedia

A lot of acclaimed novelists/poets/screenwriters are fairly fascinating people, theyre just not really focused on like they used to be.

I don't think the killer was ever executed - I think he got the death penalty but it got changed to life sentence like ten years later or something

I went to a book signing of his a long time ago, dude stayed for like 4-5 hours signing everybody's stuff and then answered questions about the books for another couple hours. Seemed like a cool guy.

I'm reading rant right now actually. I've read fight club, choke, survivor, haunted, and I think another I'm not remembering.

I've heard his nonfiction book is good too

I remember I read Choke and loved it but it also got pretty confusing near the end. I cant recall anything other than the main character having a very funny friend (Dennis?)

Found the video but it was Hunter S. Thompson. Chuck Palahniuk is gonna have to step up his game to match this level of grizzled.

I honestly don't think they ever were. Most of the 'famous authors' died in poverty and no one cared until long after their death.

On topic, yeah, he's a pretty cool guy. I haven't read a ton of his stuff, but I remember liking Choke. Definitely sounds like you are trying to turn this into some sort of bipartisan debate, though, which makes we want to not comment.

And this is always a terrible response to criticism. Once you reach a certain level of success you should be more confident than to respond to criticism like that.
