More Guardian Love for Palahniuk

Chuck Palahniuk’s Stranger Than Fiction is coming out in the UK (under the title Non-Fiction…a search engine nightmare). It’s reviewed at The Guardian.

he book ends with the most personal piece, ‘Consolation Prizes’, a homage to the real people, friends and acquaintances mostly, on whom Palahniuk based the characters in Fight Club. It’s essentially about how fact shades into fiction, reality into story, how memories can become the map reference points for writing, for the creation of a world that is sadder and stranger and darker than the lived one. Or, maybe not.
