Chuck Palahniuk könyvei a rukkolán

Chuck Palahniuk - Halálraítélt
Chuck ​Palahniuk 1962-es születésű amerikai író, újságíró, factoid-gyáros és az anarcho-dadaista Cacophony Society portlandi csoportjának tagja. Az 1996-ban megjelent Harcosok klubja óta 12 regénye jelent meg, ebből hivatalosan csupán egy jelenti korábbi műve remixét (Láthatatlan szörnyek, 2012), bírálói szerint azonban valamennyi. Novelláit, esszéit és sztárinterjúit többnyire rangos férfimagazinok közlik, mint a GQ, a Playboy vagy a Gear, a róla szóló akadémiai tanulmányok pedig immár vaskos köteteket töltenének meg. Ezidáig két regényét (Harcosok klubja, Fulladás) és egy novelláját (Románc) filmesítették meg, a Láthatatlan szörnyekből a magyar Kiss Gábor készített képregény-adaptációt, a Harcosok klubja készülő folytatása pedig a szerző ígérete szerint ugyancsak graphic novel formájában fog megjelenni.

Chuck Palahniuk - Harcosok ​klubja
Chuck ​Palahniuk bemutatkozó regénye egy új generáció valóságos bibliája lett. Névtelen kisember hőse lélekölő hivatali munkáját és fogyasztói rabszolgalétét megelégelve lázas ámokfutásba kezd, fészekrakó életmódját előbb önpusztító párharcokra, majd nagyvárosi terrorakciókra cserélve, a háta mögött hagyott nagy amerikai Álmatlanságból mind közelebb sodródva a totális tagadás tébolyához. A Harcosok klubja egyszerre adrenalindús akciófolyam, csavaros thriller és szívszorító románc, de mindenekelőtt egy kíméletlen önvizsgálat története: kis anarchista szakácskönyve nem a jóléti társadalom felszámolásához kínál kétes hitelű recepteket - oldalain inkább a menekülés lehetőségeivel, majd lehetetlenségével történő szembesülés revelatív erejű krónikája pereg másodpercenként 24 filmkockás sebességgel. Nem csoda, hogy a kultuszkönyvből - 1999-ben, David Fincher rendezésében - ragyogó kultuszfilm is készült.

Chuck Palahniuk - Beautiful ​You
A ​Harcosok klubja szerzőjének vadonatúj regénye disztópikus világba enged bepillantást: eljön a kor, amikor a nőknek nem lesz többé szükségük férfiakra, hiszen sokkal különb gyönyört remélhetnek a ravasz fortéllyal rájuk tukmált szexkellékektől. Otthagyják családjukat, karrierjüket, bezárkóznak szobájukba, és csak akkor jönnek elő, ha lemerült az elem a készülékben. Penny Harrigan egy menő manhattani jogi cégnél dolgozó, tipikus szürke egér: nem túl szép, nincs sok pénze, nincs pasija sem. Ezért igencsak váratlanul éri, amikor a cég egyik ügyfele, a szoftvermilliárdos C. Linus Maxwell vacsorára invitálja egy exkluzív étterembe. A férfi utána egy párizsi hotellakosztályba csábítja Pennyt, ahol egy hosszas és a kísérleti alanyt alattomos módon kihasználó tortúra veszi kezdetét: a lánynak a Beautiful You fantázianévre hallgató testápolási eszközcsalád fejlesztésében kell közreműködnie. De mire ráébred, hogy bajban van, már késő A regény Palahniukra jellemző módon gyilkos szatírája a korunk vásárlóvá alacsonyított emberét a végletekig kihasználó manipulatív praktikáknak. Nem lehetett kétséges, hogy mi fog történni ezután. Miközben televíziós kamerák közvetítették a jelenetet szerte a világon, Clarissa Hind, az Egyesült Államok negyvenhetedik elnöke előhúzott egy ,35-ös kaliberű pisztolyt a blézere belső zsebéből. A fegyver csövét a halántékához illesztette. És meghúzta a ravaszt.

Chuck Palahniuk - Fulladás
Chuck ​Palahniuk negyedik regénye újabb lázálomszerű mélyrepülés az amerikai pszichébe. Victor Mancini szexmániások csoportterápiáin táplálja nemi éhségét, reménytelen szerelem hevíti Alzheimer-kóros édesanyja csinos kezelőorvosa iránt, miközben estéről estére megöli magát, hogy fedezni tudja a kórházi költségeket: éttermi vacsorák alatt szándékosan félrenyeli az ételét, hogy a megmentésére siető "nap hősei" a későbbiekben elkötelezett pártfogókként támogassák. Palahniuk gyorsmontázsos mozaik-prózájában feleleveníti a korábbi műveiből ismerős motívumokat. A "Harcosok klubja" és a "Halálkultusz" önjelölt, önpusztító messiáshőseinek fehér izzású nihilizmusát egyfajta ciánkeserű optimizmusra cseréli: a "Cigányút" kínkeserves passió, egy cinikus-romantikus szerelmiháromszög-történet anya, fiú és szentlélek között, egyben maró humorú társadalmi szatíra, amely kisesszéiben egymás után számol le a vallás, az oktatás, az egészségügy, a média és a hatóságok intézményeivel. Az eszmélés, a megváltás lehetőségének meséje ez: lényegében arról a pillanatról szól, amikor a szerző szavaival "a függőségek többé már nem takarják el az igazságot."

Chuck Palahniuk - Damned
Adolescent ​is hell? You have no idea... Welcome to the Inferno by way of the Breakfeast Club, from the mind of American fiction's most brilliant troublemaker. “Are you there, Satan? It’s me, Madison,” declares the whip-tongued thirteen-year-old narrator of Damned, Chuck Palahniuk’s subversive new work of fiction. The daughter of a narcissistic film star and a billionaire, Madison is abandoned at her Swiss boarding school over Christmas, while her parents are off touting their new projects and adopting more orphans. She dies over the holiday of a mari­juana overdose—and the next thing she knows, she’s in Hell. Madison shares her cell with a motley crew of young sinners that is almost too good to be true: a cheerleader, a jock, a nerd, and a punk rocker, united by fate to form the six-feet-under version of everyone’s favorite detention movie. Madison and her pals trek across the Dandruff Desert and climb the treacherous Mountain of Toenail Clippings to confront Satan in his citadel. All the popcorn balls and wax lips that serve as the currency of Hell won’t buy them off. This is the afterlife as only Chuck Palahniuk could imagine it: a twisted inferno where The English Patient plays on end­less repeat, roaming demons devour sinners limb by limb, and the damned interrupt your dinner from their sweltering call center to hard-sell you Hell. He makes eternal torment, well, simply divine.

Chuck Palahniuk - Survivor

Chuck Palahniuk - Beautiful ​You (angol)
"A ​billion husbands are about to be replaced." From the author of Fight Club, the classic portrait of the damaged contemporary male psyche, now comes a novel about the apocalyptic marketing possibilities of female pleasure. Sisters will be doing it for themselves. And doing it. And doing it. And doing it some more. . . Penny Harrigan is a low level associate in a big Manhattan law firm with an apartment in Queens and no love life at all. So it comes as a great shock when she finds herself invited to dinner by one C. Linus Maxwell, aka "Climax-Well," a software mega-billionaire and lover of the most gorgeous and accomplished women on earth. After dining at Manhattan''s most exclusive restaurant, he whisks Penny of to a hotel suite in Paris, where he proceeds, notebook in hand, to bring her to previously undreamed-of heights of orgasmic pleasure for days on end. What's not to like? This: Penny discovers that she is a test subject for the final development of a line of sex toys to be marketed in a nationwide chain of boutiques called "Beautiful You." So potent and effective are these devices that women by the millions line up outside the stores on opening day and then lock themselves in their room with them and stop coming out. Except to buy batteries. Maxwell's plan for erotically enabled world domination must be stopped. But how?

Chuck Palahniuk - Kárhozott
Chuck ​Palahniuk legfrissebb - angolul 2011-ben megjelent - regényét tartja kezében az olvasó. A Harcosok klubjának szerzője ezúttal sem kímél senkit és semmit: elbeszélője, Maddy Spencer, a tizenhárom éves, halott, kövér kislány a pokol tájain bolyong a Nulladik óra című film szereplőire feltűnően emlékeztető kis csapatával, s közben a Sátánhoz címzett meséjében osztja az élőket és a holtakat, boldog-boldogtalant. Lassan visszatérnek az emlékei arról, hogyan halhatott meg, s igyekszik kitalálni, milyen "élet" is vár rá a halál után. A Dante és Swift nyomdokaiban járó fergeteges palahniuki szatíra célpontja az immár szokásos kulturális visszásságok mellett ezúttal az elbizakodott hit – önmagunkban, melyet Maddynek is fel kell adnia, ha beleszólást szeretne saját sorsa alakulásába, és vissza szeretne térni evilági szeretteihez. Ehhez azonban nem kisebb ellenféllel kell szembenéznie, mint magával a Sátánnal...

Chuck Palahniuk - The ​Invention of Sound
A ​father searching for his missing daughter is suddenly given hope when a major clue is discovered, but learning the truth could shatter the seemingly perfect image Hollywood is desperate to uphold. Gates Foster lost his daughter, Lucy, seventeen years ago. He's never stopped searching. Suddenly, a shocking new development provides Foster with his first major lead in over a decade, and he may finally be on the verge of discovering the awful truth. Meanwhile, Mitzi Ives has carved out a space among the Foley artists creating the immersive sounds giving Hollywood films their authenticity. Using the same secret techniques as her father before her, she's become an industry-leading expert in the sound of violence and horror, creating screams so bone-chilling, they may as well be real. Soon Foster and Ives find themselves on a collision course that threatens to expose the violence hidden beneath Hollywood's glamorous façade. A grim and disturbing reflection on the commodification of suffering and the dangerous power of art, The Invention of Sound is Chuck Palahniuk at the peak of his literary powers -- his most suspenseful, most daring, and most genre-defying work yet.

Chuck Palahniuk - Snuff
From ​the master of literary mayhem and provocation, this is a full-frontal Triple-X novel that goes where no work of fiction has gone before. 'Six hundred dudes. One porn queen. A world record for the ages. A must-have movie for every discerning collector of things erotic'. 'Didn't one of us on purpose set out to make a snuff movie?' - Cassie Wright, porn priestess, intends to cap her legendary career by breaking the world record for serial fornication. On camera with six hundred men, "Snuff" unfolds from the perspectives of Mr 72, Mr 137 and Mr 600, who await their turn on camera in a very crowded green room. This wild, lethally funny and thoroughly researched novel brings the huge yet underacknowledged presence of pornography in contemporary life into the realm of literary fiction at last. Who else but Chuck Palahniuk would dare do such a thing? Who else could do it so well, so unflinchingly and with such an incendiary (you might say) climax?

Chuck Palahniuk - Rabbia
"Rabbia" ​prende la forma di una storia (romanzesca) orale di Buster "Rant" Casey, nella quale un assortimento di amici, nemici, ammiratori, detrattori e familiari dicono la loro su questo personaggio malvagio (ma forse no), morto in circostanze tanto misteriose quanto leggendarie, che forse è stato il più efficiente serial killer di questa epoca. Buster era il tipico ragazzino di una cittadina nel bel mezzo del nulla, alla ricerca di emozioni forti in un mondo di video games e di film di avventure e di azione. Dopo le prime ribellioni al liceo scappa dal suo villaggio natale di Middleton e va nella grande città, dove ben presto diventa il leader di un gruppo di giovani dediti a una sorta di rito-gioco di demolizione urbana chiamato Party Crashing: nelle notti prescelte i partecipanti decorano in modi bizzarri le loro auto e quando arriva il momento cominciano ad attaccarsi a vicenda cercando di cozzare colle proprie vetture contro quelle degli altri. In occasione di una di queste violente cacce notturne Casey incontra la morte al volante. E dopo la sua morte spettacolare, i suoi amici raccolgono le testimonianze necessarie a ricostruire una storia orale della sua breve vita. Ma Casey è morto davvero?

Chuck Palahniuk - Doomed
Madison ​Spencer, the liveliest and snarkiest dead girl in the universe, continues the afterlife adventure begun in Chuck Palahniuk’s bestseller Damned. Just as that novel brought us a brilliant Hell that only he could imagine, Doomed is a dark and twisted apocalyptic vision from this provocative storyteller. The bestselling Damned chronicled Madison’s journey across the unspeakable (and really gross) landscape of the afterlife to confront the Devil himself. But her story isn’t over yet. In a series of electronic dispatches from the Great Beyond, Doomed describes the ultimate showdown between Good and Evil. After a Halloween ritual gone awry, Madison finds herself trapped in Purgatory - or, as mortals like you and I know it, Earth. She can see and hear every detail of the world she left behind, yet she’s invisible to everyone who’s still alive. Not only do people look right through her, they walk right through her as well. The upside is that, no longer subject to physical limitations, she can pass through doors and walls. Her first stop is her parents’ luxurious apartment, where she encounters the ghost of her long-deceased grandmother. For Madison, the encounter triggers memories of the awful summer she spent upstate with Nana Minnie and her grandfather, Papadaddy. As she revisits the painful truth of what transpired over those months (including a disturbing and finally fatal meeting in a rest stop’s fetid men’s room, in which... well, never mind), her saga of eternal damnation takes on a new and sinister meaning. Satan has had Madison in his sights from the very beginning: through her and her narcissistic celebrity parents, he plans to engineer an era of eternal damnation. For everyone. Once again, our unconventional but plucky heroine must face her fears and gather her wits for the battle of a lifetime. Dante Alighieri, watch your back; Chuck Palahniuk is gaining on you.

Chuck Palahniuk - Stranger ​Than Fiction
Chuck ​Palahniuk' s world has always been, well, different from yours and mine. In his first collection of nonfiction, Chuck Palahniuk brings us into this world, and gives us a glimpse of what inspires his fiction. At the Rock Creek Lodge Testicle Festival in Missoula, Montana, average people perform public sex acts on an outdoor stage. In a mansion once occupied by The Rolling Stones, Marilyn Manson reads his own Tarot cards and talks sweetly to his beautiful actress girlfriend. Across the country, men build their own full-size castles and rocketships that will send them into space. Palahniuk himself experiments with steroids, works on an assembly line by day and as a hospice volunteer by night, and experiences the brutal murder of his father by a white supremacist. With this new direction, Chuck Palahniuk has proven he can do anything.

Chuck Palahniuk - Diary
Diary ​takes the form of a 'coma diary' kept by one Misty Wilmot as her husband lies senseless in hospital after a suicide attempt. Once she was an art student dreaming of creativity and freedom; now, after marrying Peter at at school and being brought back to once quaint, now tourist-overrun Waytansea Island, she's been reduced to the condition of a resort hotel maid. Peter, it turns out, has been hiding rooms in houses he's refurbished and srawling vile messages all over the walls. Angry homeowners are suing, and Misty's dreams of artistic greatness are in ashes. But then, as if posessed by the spirit of Maura Kinkaid, a fabled Waytansea artist of the nineteenth century, Misty begins painting again, compulsively. The canvases are taken away by her mother in law and her doctor, who seem to have a plan for Misty - and for all those annoying tourists...

Chuck Palahniuk - Fugitives ​and Refugees
Tour ​the tunnels under downtown Portland. See Frances Gabe's famous 1940's Self-cleaning house. Look into strange local customs like the I-Tit-a-Rod Race and the Santa rampage. Learn how to talk like a local in a quick vocabulary lesson. This title walks the reader through the streets, sewers and local haunts of Portland, Oregon.

Chuck Palahniuk - Láthatatlan ​szörnyek
A ​Láthatatlan szörnyeket, Chuck Palahniuk sorrendben harmadik regényét egyik kritikusa találóan a Harcosok klubja női változatának nevezte. És valóban, a szerző mintha a Szex és New York csillogó világát vegyítené Bret Easton Ellis véres horrormeséivel. Egy eszelős történetet olvashatunk a divat és a modellek csillogó, de üres világáról, szerelmes betegekről és a beteges szerelemről, valamint a mindent elsöprő gyűlöletről. Shannon McFarland karrierjét derékba töri egy szörnyű „baleset”: egy szép napon éppen hazafelé hajt, amikor valaki rálő az autójára. A lövés következtében Shannon elveszíti az alsó állkapcsát, a munkáját és a vőlegényét. Szörnyeteg lesz, akire senki nem mer ránézni. A külvilág többé nem vesz róla tudomást: láthatatlanná válik. A kórházban, a beszédterapeuta rendelőjében megismerkedik Brandy Alexanderrel, aki az utolsó műtétjére vár, hogy végre-valahára igazi nővé válhasson. Brandy, a királynők királynője valójában férfi, de talán ő az egyetlen, aki megérti, milyen szenvedésen megy keresztül Shannon. Sajátos, sokkterápiára emlékeztető módszerét alkalmazva kezelésbe veszi Shannont, és együtt vágnak neki az országot átszelő, őrült utazásnak, amelynek során milliomos öreglányok gyógyszerkészleteit fosztogatják, felfedezik és elpusztítják a múltat, hogy újrateremtsék nem létező jövőjüket. Chuck Palahniuk, szokásához híven, ezúttal is a Harcosok klubja óta védjegyévé vált, graffiti-tömörségű, szikár prózában ostorozza a divatipar talmi csillogását, és egy szürreális történeten keresztül tárja olvasói elé a fogyasztói társadalomról alkotott lesújtó véleményét. Nem csak hölgyeknek, de csakis erős idegzetű olvasóknak.

Chuck Palahniuk - Fight ​Club
Every ​weekend, in basements and parking lots across the country, young men with good white-collar jobs and absent fathers take off their shoes and shirts and fight each other barehanded for as long as they have to. Then they go back to those jobs with blackened eyes and loosened teeth and the sense that they can handle anything. Fight Club is the invention of Tyler Durden, projectionist, waiter and dark, anarchic genius. And it's only the beginning of his plans for revenge on a world where cancer support groups have the corner on human warmth.
