    My Mum lent me that book when I was a still-green 17 year old - I was seriously wondering "wtf, Mum?" when I came to that skull-fuck sequence.

    If I remember rightly, the book has a much vaguer denouement than the movie - and if you've read any of his other books, you'll appreciate how he lets his protagonists exist in fucked-up, amoral universes, so I'd lead towards it being real - but such a decidedly unreal reality that none around can credit him for it. Or maybe not, as I said - it's 13 years since I read the damned thing.
