  1. Antonella Gambotto-Burke _ Mouth

    To cope, he and his siblings – older and younger sisters, a younger brother - created a game called Henry Kissinger. Palahniuk remembers that as their parents fought, lots would be drawn to see who would play Kissinger. 'This was the early to mid-70s, when Kissinger was a hero, forging peace in the Middle East,' he explains. 'Whoever became Henry Kissinger would have to go and redirect our parents' attention or anger to a different crisis.' The child who drew the short straw would severely hurt himself, presenting himself as 'this injured thing' in an effort to diffuse conflict.

"Where've you been, what've you been up to?""Mom, do you remember when I was a kid, I had a friend, he was a Personification of the Sydney Tar Ponds, sort of my imaginary friend?" Mandy asked."No, what in the name of god are you on about?" her mom sighed in exasperation."Remember? Only I could see him, but he was real and he was my best friend when I was eighteen?" Mandy insisted."No, I don't remember Alecto Sydney Steele at all," said her mom all too quickly.
