ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk tells the story of an unnamed narrator, struggling with insomnia and a dissatisfying life, who meets a charismatic soap salesman named Tyler Durden. Together they form a fight club, a space for men to engage in bare-knuckle brawls, as a rebellion against modern consumer culture. This escalates into a destructive movement called Project Mayhem, challenging societal norms with acts of chaos. The narrator’s life spirals as he grapples with the increasingly dangerous consequences of his actions and with a mysterious woman named Marla Singer. The novel explores themes of identity, alienation, and the search for meaning in a world that the characters feel is superficial and empty. The story questions the nature of reality, sanity, and the limits of self-destruction.
