Charles Michael "Chuck" Palahniuk was born in Pasco, Washington. He is an American novelist and freelance journalist, who describes his work as transgressional fiction. He is the author of the award-winning novel Fight Club, which also was made into a feature film. In his twenties, Palahniuk attended the University of Oregon School of Journalism, and graduated in 1986. During that time, he also wrote manuals on fixing trucks and had a stint as a journalist. After casually attending a seminar held by an organization called Landmark Education, Palahniuk quit his job as a journalist in 1988. A revised version of Invisible Monsters, as well as his fourth novel, Survivor, were published in 1999. A few years later Palahniuk managed to make his first New York Times bestseller, the novel Choke, which later was made into a movie.
