I must admit I didn't know how hard and tragic Palahniuk's life had been. Obviously, this kind of experience must mark anyone and especially artists. Maybe that's why most of his characters are marginal and react in an aggressive and self-destructive way. I remember reading about the blackouts that Guts caused (I think there was also a lot of exaggeration). In particular, I also think The Fighting Club is also a cult film, one of the toughest and best in recent years. As always, excellent review, @honeydue. Thank you for sharing.
