    Practical Useful Information
  

*by P***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2020*

Palahniuk begins with the valid complaint that most, nearly all, creative writing seminars, courses, and programs consist of listening to some veteran writer or personality who has inflated his credentials, telling war stories. That observation is spot-on. It happens for several reasons: The department heads and administrators responsible for hiring creative writing instructors (or worse, the self-promoters of seminars) almost always choose published writers. Unfortunately, most published writers are not teachers, don't know how to teach, or don't care about teaching.The result is that very little in hard knowledge gets transmitted. Advice like: Engage the reader; Make your characters interesting;  Start with a bang, is offered. Instructors present big general ideas with no practical advice as to how to implement them.  Handholding, enthusiasm, or the promise that the instructor has contacts that will get the student published take the place of substantive knowledge and advice.Palahniuk says he can do better, and he does. For the first two chapters, he offers ideas and practical advice regarding their implementation in writing novels and short stories. In the third section, he begins to fall into the trap he described: the war story rambling and discussing general topics without concrete examples or implementation strategies, but some good information is present.I give the book five stars because if it consisted of only the first chapter, it would be better than 95% of the "how to write" books that are published. An excellent handbook, well done Mr. Palahniuk.

    If You Have a Story to Tell
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2020*

Chuck Palahniuk, the author of Fight Club, provides a no holds barred account of how to write fiction as well as an account of his writing life.Never having written a work of fiction, I can’t comment on the efficacy of Palahniuk’s writing exercises or his various tips on writing. To my amateur eye, they seem like good advice and, despite the obvious difference in tone, many seem similar to Strunk and White’s Elements of Style.What I can provide is a summary of what to expect if you read this guide as well as who should read it.A former blue-collar worker, Palahniuk intersperses the guide with personal anecdotes that in total encompass a philosophy, or at least, an outlook on life. Rough around the edges, this perspective does not shy away from life’s darker sides: violence, death, perversion, insanity, etc. But it also contains a genuine desire to connect to his readers and to benefit them by his writing.He largely addresses beginning writers.  He doesn’t hide the difficulty of making a living writing fiction at a time when the novel is no longer the center of popular culture. Nor does he hide the fact that good writing is difficult and requires much practice. But he suggests that those who are passionate about the stories they have to tell should choose to write, whether or not they can make a living out of it.And how to tell stories is primarily what Palahniuk teaches. He illustrates his points by citing some of the best American fiction of the last one hundred years. Proust and Wolff, for example, are not mentioned since literary fiction with experimental styles is not at all the type of writing Palahniuk is interested in.But if you have stories that you think readers will want or need to hear, Palahniuk’s guide is as good as any to getting started. While it may appeal to the mixed martial arts viewing crowd the most, anyone really can benefit from his wisdom.  The fact that the book embodies his philosophy all the while dispensing writing tips only provides more reason to read it.  Highly recommended for would be writers of fiction.

    A lot to consider
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2020*

I've read everything this man has put on paper, so you could say I'm biased from the start, but this book released at exactly the right time in my life.The stories and advice within reveal much about the author and what made him who he is. I hope to eventually publish work of my own, and this little book makes me feel a little more comfortable with the idea being more than just a far-off dream. Not all books are capable of such things.I always wanted a "how-to" book from Palahniuk - now I can check that off my list! Real fans will not be disappointed.
