![]() ![]() Palahniuk starts his haphazardly assembled and brutal collection of short stories with the appropriate titled ‘Guts’ which, I gather from the Author’s Note at the end, is famous for causing fainting spells among readers. ![]() This pattern through the novel – Main Story, then Character Poem, then Character Backstory, repeat ad nauseam – might have worked, had the main story been stronger. The progressively awful living conditions in this writers’ retreat are returned to between each character’s respective poem/short story. Each character with a poem and story to tell throughout the novel apparently answered a mysterious advertisement to attend an isolated retreat for writers. The backbone of Haunted that ties each poem and short story together is a horrific three-month-long “Writers’ Retreat”. **trigger warning** this review mentions some extreme and horrific aspects of the book, including miscarriage. Haunted is a series of short stories and poems, loosely related insofar as each is written from the perspective of different member of a group of degenerate sociopaths locked together in a masochistic “Writers’ Retreat”. ![]() ![]() ![]() While political events drive the story, Dickens takes a decidedly antipolitical tone, lambasting both aristocratic tyranny and revolutionary excess-the latter memorably caricatured in Madame Defarge, who knits beside the guillotine. ![]() The scenes of large-scale mob violence are especially vivid, if superficial in historical understanding.The complex plot involves Sydney Carton's sacrifice of his own life on behalf of his friends Charles Darnay and Lucie Manette. Although Dickens borrowed from Thomas Carlyle's history, The French Revolution, for his sprawling tale of London and revolutionary Paris, the novel offers more drama than accuracy. The story is set in the late 18th century against the background of the French Revolution.
