Chuck Palahniuk has gained a place in Generation X literature thanks to his ability to transmit seemingly innocent themes in a scathing social critique, and that is that his books are never what they appear to be: he uses the central idea of the work to influence themes of Greater transcendence, that is, he does not seek to explain the characters ' actions and the raison d'être of the situations, but rather to make clear the nonsense of these, but with a plot structure so solid that he never loses the thread. When you read Palahniuk it is clear that the form is the background and that the background is a parody of all that is considered “serious”.
