[White Man]

This was posted at metafilter today. I found it pretty amusing, and I'm not really a Chuck fan.

Check it out.

Guts

EDIT: Not for the squeamish, I guess.

Man, this is ancient. Apparently one or two people always vomit when he reads this in public. My guess is that's bullshit. I mean, the story isn't that gross.

 

[heavy liquid]

Yeah, it's a good story. There's an MP3 floating around with him reading it at a Barnes & Noble or Border's a while back. Supposedly, at least one person would faint or vomit during each reading he gave, or something like that.

I'd never read it. I'm not really a fan of his. It was an amusing diversion, and I'd never seen it mentioned. Any other short stories worth reading by him?

IIRC, he was going to publish a book with his short stories that previously appeared in Playboy and whatnot.

You'd have to be pretty desensitized to say that Guts "isn't that gross."

If I wasn't headed to the urologist to get a fiberoptic snake stuffed up my urethra within the next two months (this will be the second time, mind you), I'd find this story more enjoyable. I have a urethra stricture that makes it difficult to urinate and can cause kidney failure. Chuck isn't really my style either.

I was at a signing of his in New York at a Barnes and Nobles in Union Square, and someone did faint. It could also be that the place was packed and they just couldn't take the story as well as the crowd. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone throwing up from hearing it. It was really great live, and then even cooler that he didn't leave until everyone had their stuff signed. He's just a super nice guy.

tangential: ^^Todd Morman is a tan gent that hosts a local teevee show - Monkeytime - out of Raleigh.

His website is good fun but rarely updated. um... monkeypuppets.

I was shocked when a guy fainted at the reading I attended. It was right around the part where the story earns it's name. Palahniuk went on to mention that he knew all three people and each was a true story, one guy was even his best friend.

Even the part that implied that the guy's sister got knocked up by the pool jizz? C'mon, that had to be an embelishment.
