I came across this cartoon online today on Facebook, and it made me laugh. If you have read his work, and are not just a douche waffle Hipster poser, then you know that Chuck's work is some of the most visceral and gripping contemporary american literature out there, and it demands to be discussed and shared by a group of like minded individuals. This usually means that his surname is constantly being mis-pronounced. Because we are such huge fans of his work, my circle of friends has always just referred to him as Chuck. Perhaps it is a little informal, but hey, we devour his work, so I'm sure he'd be fine with it.
For the record, his re-tweet of this image included the phonetic pronunciation "Paula-nick". Go figure.
Look for his latest novel "Doomed" later this year, or if you haven't read them yet, rush out and buy copies of Fight Club, Rant, Invisible Monsters, and all of his other amazing novels. You'll be glad you did.
