Chuck Palahniuk's «Diary» is a dark and gripping story that explores themes of art, madness, and self-destruction. The protagonist, Misty Marie Kleinman, keeps a diary in which she describes her life and struggles with inner demons.

The book is filled with dark humor and satire, making it both heavy and engaging to read. Some reviewers find the novel challenging due to its darkness and cynicism, yet they acknowledge its literary value and originality. «Diary» is a work that prompts reflection on the nature of creativity and the human psyche, leaving a lasting impression on the reader.
