"Chuck Palahniuks Welt war schon immer anders als die anderer Menschen. Die Geschichten in 'Stranger than Fiction' zeigen das mal auf komische und sehr unterhaltsame, mal aber auch auf verstörende Weise. Denn hier tummeln sich Helden jenseits des Mainstream wie Marilyn Manson und Juliette Lewis; es geht um Palahniuks Erfahrungen als Montagearbeiter am Fliessband tagsüber und als Fahrer für ein Hospiz die Nacht hindurch; Und auch die Geschichte der Kontaktanzeige, die zum Mord an seinem Vater führte, spart er nicht aus. Der amerikanische Autor Chuck Palahniuk, geboren 1962, träumte lange davon, Schriftsteller zu werden. Doch erst ein persönlicher Einschnitt in seinem Leben gab ihm schliesslich den Impuls, seinen Traum zu verwirklichen. Seit seinem Überraschungserfolg "Fight Club" geniesst Palahniuk nicht nur bei zahllosen Lesern Kultstatus, er hat sich mit seinen folgenden Romanen auch in die Riege amerikanischer Bestsellerautoren geschrieben. Chuck Palahniuk lebt in Portland, Oregon."
"Chuck Palahniuk's world has always been, well, different from yours and mine. The pieces that comprise Stranger than Fiction prove just how different, in ways both highly entertaining and deeply unsettling."
"Collection of essays, stories, interviews, and articles written for various magazines and newspapers. Includes autobiographical pieces."
"L'auteur livre dans ce recueil d'essais une description de la société américaine à la recherche de contacts humains. Mélange de réflexions sur l'écriture romanesque, essais autobiographiques et reportages baroques pour mieux cerner l'écrivain.--[Memento]."
"A famous novelist goes straight for the jugular with a book of real-life essays."
