I chose mostly story and essay collections because a well-written short piece can do more than most full-length novels. That makes a collection like a small library or bookstore. I wanted my full selection of books to function like a small bookstore, but within the huge, wonderful kaleidoscope of The Strand. All hail the short story.”

Chuck Palahniuk's eleven novels are the bestselling Tell-All, Pygmy, Snuff, Rant, Haunted, Lullaby, and Fight Club, which was made into a movie by David Fincher, Diary, Survivor, Invisible Monsters, and Choke, which was made into a film by Clark Gregg. He is also the author of the nonfiction profile of Portland Fugitives and Refugees, published as part of the Crown Journey Series, and the nonfiction collection Stranger Than Fiction. He lives in the Pacific Northwest.
