1/16/2008 Survivor前后大约花了我一个星期的工夫吧，把意外搜到的Survivor听完了。
Chuck Palahniuk，自Fight Club起，他在我心里就得算个人物了。两年前找到他大批Audiobook时，着实兴奋了一番，但当时唯独少了这本Survivor，引以为憾，现在也算是夙愿得偿吧。
很早以前就知道这本书的Premise，it begins on a hi-jacked plane about to crash, the antagonist (who is also the hi-hacker) telling his life story to the "black box", to find out how and when everything went "wrong"... quite promising, ain't it?!
刚开始听时，真有点放不下的感觉。因为我总是只在上下班路上听，有时候恨不得车来得再晚点，走得再慢点才好。实在是喜欢Chuck Palahniuk那冷漠的尖酸，喜欢他那“世人皆浊非我独清”的attitude。
但是，越往后听，整个故事对我的appeal就越小，自己都很惊讶，有点不太明白问题出在哪儿来。仔细想想，也许这种太尖刻的话，还是不能一次听得太多 － 再尖酸巧妙深沉睿智的话，重复得太多后也会失去punch。
总在心里忍不住把Chuck Palahniuk和Simon Logan做比较，觉得这两个风格截然不同的家伙有不少神似之处。Simon Logan的东西，用冷酷残忍血腥变态来形容丝毫不为过，可我仍是觉得心里离他“近”不少，guess it's because beneath the hardest and coldest shell, you can always find some soft spot, something tender to make it all "worth it".
Couldn't say the same of Chuck Palahniuk, unfortunately.
