Palahniuk

Hey I have a quick question for all ya readers,

How do you pronounce his last name? PUH-la-nik or pull-ON-ick? Or neither.

I knew someone who claimed to be related to him (a cousin of sorts) and he said his last name was Puh-la-nik but I've heard people say the other way. Anyway, just curious.

Also, has anyone ever written to Chuck?

I was under the impression that it was pronounced something like "Paula-Nick"

I agree with musicisbelievng, it's pronounced Paula-Nick. I think the story goes that his grandparents' names were Nick and Paula Palahniuk and they decided to pronounce it like their names...or something like that.

I wrote to Chuck during the last fanmail window back in 2006.

I read some where it was Paula-nick

I had been pronouncing it pah-la-nee-yuk. Paula-nick is easier to say though.
