Fight Club created a cult-like sensation around author Chuck Palahniuk. And why shouldn't it, for the first time in a long time an author had the courage to challenge society's norms and put his balls on the line for his beliefs.
"Bizarre" isn't the right word, but it's the first that comes to mind." Victor Mancini, the latest creation of Chuck Palahniuk (see also: Fight Club), never seems to have the right words to eloquently explain his upturned life. Perhaps his problem is that he looks to hard for the answers.
Several e-mails, one transatlantic flight and a couple of late night phone calls finally put me in contact with Darren Middleton, guitarist for Australia's latest rock sensation, Powderfinger. Both of us were exhausted, he from the flight and me for much more mundane reasons, but after a few minutes of pleasant small talk the conversation began to flow smoothly. "I just spoke with your flatmate." is the first thing Darren says to me. Later I find that my roommate not only commended Darren on Powderfinger and their latest album, Odyseey Number Five, but also held him responsible for the greatness of the entire Australian continent. Thankfully Darren absorbed all this in stride, much in the way that Powderfinger has taken all of their fame and critical success.
