In a 1996 Chuck Palahniuk published a novel. The book follows the experiences of an unnamed protagonist struggling with insomnia. Inspired by his doctor’s exasperated remark that sleeplessness is not suffering, he finds relief by impersonating a seriously ill person in several support groups. An encounter with a fellow “tourist”, Marla, drives him back into insomnia until he meets a mysterious liberator named Tyler Durden and establishes an underground fighting club as a form of radical psychotherapy.
In 1999, director David Fincher adapted the novel into a film of the same name, which received positive critical response and generated a cult following, despite lower than expected box-office results.
Fight Club, while fictional, contained several tidbits of wisdom. Most of the “liberation dialog” was spoken by the imaginary character of Tyler Durden. While many saw the value of the novel and the movie as entertainment, some of us relished its revolutionary vision.
