Chuck Palahniuk 
Non-Fiction 

Chuck Palahniuk”s world has been, well, different from yours and mine.
The pieces that comprise Non-Fiction prove just how different, in ways both highly entertaining and deeply unsettling. Encounters with alternative culture heroes Marilyn Manson and Juliette Lewis; the peculiar wages of fame attendant on the big budget film production of the movie Fight Club; life as an assembly-line drive train installer by day, hospice volunteer driver by night; the really peculiar lives of submariners; the really violent world of college wrestlers; the underground world of anabolic steroid gobblers; the harrowing circumstances of his father”s murder and the trial of his killer – each essay or vignette offers a unique facet of existence as lived in and/or observed by one of America”s most flagrantly daring and original literary talents.
