Description
"Survivor" by Chuck Palahniuk is a darkly satirical novel that explores themes of identity, religion, media obsession, and societal absurdity. The story is narrated by Tender Branson, the last surviving member of the Creedish Church, a fanatical cult that practiced servitude and ended in mass suicide after a scandal. Told in reverse order, the novel begins with Tender recounting his life into the black box of a hijacked airplane moments before a crash. Following the cult's collapse, Tender becomes a media sensation, his life commodified and manipulated as he is turned into a reluctant celebrity and religious icon. Haunted by guilt and disillusioned with his fabricated identity, he spirals into chaos while forming a complex bond with Fertility Hollis, a woman with prophetic dreams.
