Chuck It

“The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club.”

Brad Pitt said it in the late '90s cult movie but Chuck Palahniuk wrote it in one his most popular novels. The author of Fight Club, whose books also include Choke, Snuff and Pygmy, is here tonight to talk about his newest tome, Tell-All. Focusing on Hollywood celebrities, Palahniuk calls Tell-All, “the Valley of the Dolls for a new generation.” Presented by WordFest, this is Palahniuk’s only Canadian stop on his North American tour and tickets, $33, include a signed copy of the book.  

In Tell-All you can dish, but you probably still can’t talk about Fight Club.

7 p.m. at the John Dutton Theatre, CPL Central Library, 616 Macleod Trail SE, Calgary; tickets here  or call 403-237-9068.
