The most repulsive one, and yet strangely, also the one I most appreciated, was Director Denial's story Exodus. They're probably not even a thousandth of some of the worst shit that this world holds, but still, surely it's bad enough (or good enough?) that the novel has gotten so much of these between its pages. The depravity in particular is a theme that runs throughout and is present everywhere and even if you've got a strong stomach and open sensibilities you'll probably still find a story in here that'll disgust or horrify you.īut what's maybe most horrifying is that a lot of the stories that the characters tell each other were in fact inspired by true events, anecdotes that Palahniuk had gathered over the years concerning some of the most disgusting and repulsive acts that human being have gotten up to. The stories that the characters tell each other are pretty much always offensive, inspired as they are by themes of depravity, crime, terrorism, violence, cannibalism, and just all-round weird shit. But it ended up being quite a bit funnier than I was expecting, written with the genuine humour of someone looking back after the fact.
I myself laughed when my turn came, though I had been spoiled quite a bit beforehand, and I knew the general gist of the story before I began.
