Chuck Palahniuk

Chuck Palahniuk‘s novels include the bestselling Fight Club, which was made into a film, Diary, Lullaby, Survivor, Haunted, and Invisible Monsters. His nonfiction work has been published by Gear, Black Book, The Stranger, and the Los Angeles Times. 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 as an artist creating the sounds giving Hollywood films their authenticity. She’s an industry-leading expert in the sound of violence and horror. Soon Foster and Ives find themselves on a collision course that threatens to expose the violence hidden beneath Hollywood’s glamorous façade. The Invention of Sound (Grand Central Publishing) is Chuck Palahniuk reflection on the commodification of suffering and the dangerous power of art. Publishers Weekly called it a “dark, humorous tale [that] sparkles with the inventive details […] provocative insights […] and what it means to turn ‘people’s basic humanity into something that could be bought and sold.’ The result is a wry, devilish delight.”
