The novel generally follows the same premise and beats as the movie. Nevertheless, I’ve found a surprising number of people familiar with the 1999 film directed by David Fincher remain woefully unfamiliar the 1996 novel written by Chuck Palahniuk. My ThoughtsĮven though the first and second rule of Fight Club is to not talk about Fight Club, you’ve probably still heard of it. There, two men fight “as long as they have to.” This is a gloriously original work that exposes the darkness at the core of our modern world. Fight Club’s estranged narrator leaves his lackluster job when he comes under the thrall of Tyler Durden, an enigmatic young man who holds secret after-hours boxing matches in the basement of bars. Chuck Palahniuk showed himself to be his generation’s most visionary satirist in this, his first book.
