Chuck Palahniuk
Dátum narodenia: 21. február 1962
Ďalšie mená: Чак Поланик
Chuck Palahniuk je súčasný americký spisovateľ. Najznámejšia je pravdepodobne jeho kniha Fight Club, ktorá bola neskôr aj sfilmovaná režisérom Davidom Fincherom v roku 1999. Venuje sa depresívnym témam na pozadí súčasnej americkej spoločnosti, čerpá zo svojich vlastných frustrácií a vlastnej novinárskej kariéry. Jeho diela končia takmer vždy tragicky. Jeho romány boli najprv nakladateľmi odmietané ako príliš temné a depresívne, čoskoro sa ale stali kultovými. Wikipedia

Citáty Chuck Palahniuk
„It's nice to see something more pathetic than I feel right now.“

„Big Brother isn’t watching. He’s singing and dancing. He’s pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother’s busy holding your attention every moment you’re awake. He’s making sure you’re always distracted. He’s making sure you’re fully absorbed.“
— Chuck Palahniuk, kniha Lullaby

Kontext: Old George Orwell got it backward. Big Brother isn't watching. He's singing and dancing. He's pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother’s busy holding your attention every moment you're awake. He's making sure you're always distracted. He's making sure you're fully absorbed. He's making sure your imagination withers. Until it's as useful as your appendix. He's making sure your attention is always filled. And this being fed, it's worse than being watched. With the world always filling you, no one has to worry about what's in your mind. With everyone's imagination atrophied, no one will ever be a threat to the world.

„I'm not straight, and I'm not gay. I'm not bisexual. I want out of the labels. I don't want my whole life crammed into a single word. A story. I want to find something else, unknowable, some place to be that's not on the map. A real adventure.“
— Chuck Palahniuk, kniha Invisible Monsters
Varianta: I want out of the labels. I don't want my whole life crammed into a single word. A story. I want to find something else, unknowable, some place to be that's not on the map. A real adventure.'
A spinx. A mystery. A blank. Unknown. Undefined.
