Описание: Chuck Palahniuk, America's premier transgressive novelist, enjoys a tremendous readership. Yet he has not necessarily been embraced by critics or academics. His prose is considered vulgar by some but his body of work addresses a core motivation of 21st-century life: individual self-empowerment. Palahniuk writes about what it means to be on the outside looking in, revising familiar narratives for a contemporary audience to get at the heart of the human condition-everyone wants a chance to win their fair share, no matter the cost.In Haunted, Snuff, Pygmy, Tell-All, Damned and Invisible Monsters Remix, he confronts marginalization and disenfranchisement through parodies of various works-The Inferno, Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, The Elephant Man-as well as Hollywood history, 1970s karate films and the porn industry. This comprehensive study of six novels refutes criticism that Palahniuk's goals are to shock and sensationalize.
Описание: With his cynicism and skepticism, Chuck Palahniuk satirizes and points out the manipulative aspects of ideologies, values and beliefs pushing society`s understanding of the norm. In this work, Palahniuk`s writing is examined closely and his characters are analysed as people who rebel against the systems in control.
