Peel back the sheets

A brief side-track. Author Chuck Palahniuk was in Galway last weekend for the Cúirt International Festival of Literature and in the Guardian’s Weekend magazine he has a short, thoughtful and funny piece on his weekend experience – being heckled, “nothing but an American cultural imperialist!”, on being a terrible pornographer, and “sharing a bed with Martin Amis and Amy Tan, Anne Rice and Irvine Welsh, Douglas Coupland, Joyce Carol Oates, Zadie Smith, David Sedaris and Michel Houellebecq.”

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
