Diary

Style and Technique

In «Diary», Chuck Palahniuk employs his characteristic style, blending elements of dark humor, satire, and grotesque. The language is rich with sarcasm and irony, highlighting the absurdity and tragedy of the events. Palahniuk often uses short, abrupt sentences, creating a fragmented rhythm that enhances the tension and dynamics of the plot. A significant literary device is the use of the protagonist's internal monologue, allowing a deeper understanding of her psychological state and motivation. The narrative structure is non-linear, with frequent flashbacks and shifts in perspective, creating a mosaic effect that gradually reveals the story's mysteries and intrigues. Palahniuk also actively uses symbolism and allusions, adding depth and layers to the narrative.
