The narrator’s lack of masculinity could be Palahniuk’s life living without his father after his parents divorced.Though the facts are different between the novels, the way in which he includes them in the story is quite amusing.Not only does he make you feel pity for these characters, he makes you want the narrator to have a good time while he’s beating the angel face to a pulp.Palahniuk’s unique writing styles, unusual characters, and abnormal settings are what make Fight Club and Choke so similar, and make Chuck Palahniuk one of the most original writers in this era."If you haven’t already noticed, all my books are about a lonely person looking for some way to connect with other people."
