Soft White Underbelly’s Interview with Chuck Palahniuk
I have some things in the works, but I’m not sure about them. I need to think through the posts I have half finished. That said, hopefully you’ll like the Chuck P Interview.
People have compared much of my work to Chuck’s. While I’m flattered, I doubt I’m as skilled. And I also don’t set out to emulate anyone. If I write like him, it’s a combination of fluke, and unconscious influence (Though I’ll be frank: I’ve only read Fight Club, Invisible Monsters, Survivor, and Choke). The commonality we have is literary minimalism, and transgressive fiction. Perhaps that’s enough.
Enjoy the Chuck P interview. I promise he’s more interesting than me.
You got to read his craft book, Consider This. It’s the bet
