To draw a parallel, as I do masonry work, I marvel at the heavy stones I could lift fifteen years ago. Coinciding with the novel's neo-noir themes, Marla plays the role of the femme fatale, not only in her appearance but also in her role, serving firstly as a source of problems for the Narrator. I loved being able to see everything drawn out as I was reading the story, it was such a unique and enjoyable experience, I felt like I was watching the movie on the big screen. What unfolds is a lysergic tapestry of apparent kidnapping, examinations of whether we define ideas or vice versa, and a host of other ideas that coalesce to finally make sense, only to again yank the rug out from under the reader before veering into confusingly meta territory. En realidad, él es un virus, una especie de enfermedad genética, pasada de generación en generación a los hombres de la familia de Sebastián, y en esta historia lo vemos brincar de Sebastián a Junior, su hijo.

Repetitions of certain lines or phrases in the story narrative (what Palahniuk refers to as "choruses") are one of the most common characteristics of his writing style, being dispersed within most chapters of his novels. Marla, her first son, and her husband—the unnamed narrator in the novel, who now goes by Balthazar—live in a rundown motel with sketchy neighbors.What he wants is not real and impossible to achieve without great suffering, so how does one goes on with his life governed by ideas that will inevitably let him down? After initially publishing it as a short story (which became chapter 6 of the novel) in the 1995 compilation Pursuit of Happiness, Palahniuk expanded it into a full novel, which, contrary to his expectations, a publisher accepted. The Narrator no longer receives the same relief from the groups when he realizes Marla is faking her problems just as he is.

In terms of a level of expectation I had going in coupled with the constant meta bullshit storytelling, this might be the worst book I’ve ever read. About 30 pages in it jumps the shark harder than any shark has ever been jumped and then it throws dynamite into the shark's mouth, laughs at all the bystanders now covered in shark guts, and then flings it's own feces all over them for good measure. While initially a loyal participant in Project Mayhem, the narrator becomes uncomfortable with the increasing destructiveness of its activities. Pranks, such as food-tampering, have been repeated by fans of the book, documented in Palahniuk's essay "Monkey Think, Monkey Do", [16] in the book Stranger Than Fiction: True Stories (2004) and in the introduction to the 2004 re-issue of Fight Club.

According to Chuck Palahniuk: "The sequel will be told from the-- at first-- submerged perspective of Tyler Durden as he observes the day-to-day tedium of the narrator's life. He is a regular participant in their events, including the annual Santa Rampage (a public Christmas party involving pranks and drunkenness) in Portland, Oregon.Hibbert on: out actor Edward Hibbert talks about the Noises Off revival, his side career as an agent, and the best antidote to anthrax".

Cameron Stewart, the comic artist of Fight Club 2 and 3, described Tyler's visual appearance in the novel as looking sort of like Chris Hemsworth as Thor (2011). Palahniuk's work takes some of our greatest shortcomings--insufficient or inadequate parenting, toxic isolation-- then magnifies and underlines them in fractured skulls and drunken vomit.
