Notes

Fight Club, written by Chuck Palahniuk and published in 1996, is a dark, transgressive novel that explores themes of masculinity, consumerism, identity, and psychological fragmentation. The story follows an unnamed narrator who suffers from insomnia and a deep sense of alienation. He finds solace in support groups and later forms an underground fight club with the charismatic and anarchic Tyler Durden—a relationship that spirals into chaos as Tyler's anti-establishment philosophy becomes increasingly violent. The novel's shocking twists and raw, minimalist prose expose the narrator’s fractured psyche and critique the emptiness of modern life. Its cult success led to the acclaimed 1999 film adaptation directed by David Fincher.
