C.Palahniuk - Survivor

Tittel: Survivor (2003)

Forfatter: Chuck Palahniuk

I et nøtteskall: Himmelrike på jord kvadratmeter for kvadratmeterplanen til den kristenfundamentalske sekten går til helvete med god margin. Det er ikke måte på hvor mye passiv skade man kan volde ved å velge å ikke ta stilling og styring over eget liv.

Favorittutdrag:
"To stand here and try to fix her life is just a big waste of time. People don't want their lifes fixed. Nobody wants their problems solved. Their dramas. Their distractions. Their stories resolved. Their messes cleaned up. Because what would they have left? Just the big scary unknown"

"I tell her the story about my fish. This is fish number six hundred and forty-one in a lifetime of goldfish. My parentes bought me the first one to teach me about loving and caring for another living breathing creature of God. Six hundred and forty fish later the only thing I know is everything you love will die"

"Then because the caseworker thought it would make a good case study I had Koro Syndrome, where you're convinced your penis is getting smaller and smaller and when it disappears, you'll die. (Fabian 1991: Tseng et.al. 1992)"

"Since change is constant you wonder if people crave death because it's the only way they can get anything really finished."

Tanker i ettertid: Ai ai ai. Uten å ha gjort et eneste valg (rent bortsett fra å følge de bestemmelser andre gjør i den grad det kan sies å være valg når man er oppdratt til det) volder vår hovedperson ikke så rent lite skade. Ta styring blir vel moralen om det finnes noen.

Anbefales: Deg som ikke lett lar deg underholde.
