Chuck Palahniuk Biography

Palahniuk faced early rejection for his dark and satiric writing, but persevered to write "Fight Club", which was published in 1996. The 1999 film version of the novel, which starred Brad Pitt and Edward Norton, shot Palahniuk into the spotlight. He remains a popular author whose other novels include "Choke" (2001), "Lullaby" (2002) and "Damned" (2011).

A prolific writer, Palahniuk has published numerous novels and short stories since first breaking onto the literary scene with "Fight Club". In 2013, it was announced that a graphic novel sequel to Fight Club was in the works. The 12-issue series is expected to be released in May 2015. In 2014, Palahniuk's web site announced that James Franco bought the film options for his novel "Rant: The Oral Biography of Buster Casey" (2008).
