It came as a BIG surprise to read on another forum that Chuck Palahniuk is gay. Is this true, ie. confirmed fact, not a rumour?

Fight Club may never be the same.

Not exactly a classic article, but Choke's promotion tactics are discussed in The Guardian's film blog today:

"Choke" the audio book, read by the author. You have to listen to it. With Chuck narrating in his distinctive voice and inflections it is laugh out loud funny. I really want to watch the movie, but live in the boonies. But the audio book may in fact be better because of Chuck's reading. It has a permanent spot on my ipod. By the way, do we know when the movie will come out on DVD?
You can get the audio book from Audible, which is linked with Amazon.com.

for being.

sometimes i wish i had cancer so i could get the make-a-wish foundation to arrange a meeting with chuck palahniuk.

I'm writing a paper profiling Palahniuk feel free to answer the questions in fact please do even if it's just one question and if you wouldn't mind leaving at least your first name so you get credit for your words that would be wonderful or tell me an alias.

1. what interests you in Palahniuks' work as an author?

2. How do you feel about the sexual, grotesque, violent descriptions/details in his works? Do you find that your somewhat interested or curious to read about these ideas in his writing?

3. Does anything disturb you while reading his books? (the more specific the better)

4. Why do you think people would advocate against books that Palahniuk publishes?

5. What do you know about Palahniuks personal life?

6. Does anything in the books that you have read by Palahniuk lead you to believe that he is at all sadistic, overly judgmental towards religion, society or government? any examples brief or not?

I went to the Columbus, OH reading for the Rant tour and Chuck read two short stories there that I haven't been able to find. I vividly remember one of them, "Cold Calling." It was about some kid that got a job as a telemarketer and then fell in love on one of his sales calls. I really enjoyed the story and I was wondering if anyone knows where(if anywhere) it was published, how to find it, or if anyone on the site actually had it themselves. I would greatly appreciate the help finding this story to go through it again.
