What could we expect from a meeting between the raw genius of Palahniuk and religion? The writer made famous by his novel Fight Club by David Fincher and from the film tells the story of the last survivor of a religious sect focused on the complete lack of technology and above all dedicated to mass suicide, the Creedish. The protagonist, Tender Branson, lived outside the community because only the first-born was allowed to remain inside the reserve to marry other Creedish. The number of households Creedish younger brothers are in fact sent to work in the outside world and sinful, outside the community. So when it finally arrived the day of great goodbye, the mass suicide, Tender has been forgotten by his peers and has remained actively involved as a walk on this world. What will become of him without a religion that helps a family to send money and a community that makes it a point of reference? The answer is simple: become the protagonist of a typical Palahniuk. The events that follow one another drag us into a vortex and so do the pages reversed: we start from page 289 and we are swept up in this countdown to the end of the story. The irons in the fire, as usual, so a woman seer to conquer, a new job in television as a prophet, remember when he lived in the community unaware of the existence of a technological world and evolved, and memories of when she was a tiny cog in this depressing world. But above all, to shake the story is the discovery that the suicides were actually murders Creedish and Tender is on the list of killers.
Anyone who has read and enjoyed any Palahniuk book should not hesitate to buy it and devour the pages. For those who have never tried this writer the notice is mandatory: Palahniuk does not write to please others. Despite picture a reality too uncoordinated to make us smile for his excesses, even with unlikely situations in which his protagonist inguaia, reading its pages there is a dark and depressing picture of American society that describes: the world we live in is alienating and drags us along as the protagonist in a crazy whirlwind of events. Closing the book there is a hatred and frustration towards all that is around us, Palahniuk has desecrated and stripped everything and showed us things for what they are really exposing the rot that lies within us. Everything has taken our eyes a negative sense. Everything except, perhaps, his other books.
