Fight Club (novel and film)

"Fight Club" is a story about an unnamed narrator suffering from insomnia and a sense of emptiness, who forms an underground fight club as a way to feel alive. The club evolves into a broader movement challenging consumerism and societal norms. It explores themes of identity, masculinity, rebellion, and the destructive pursuit of meaning. As the narrative unfolds, the narrator's reality blurs, revealing a shocking twist about his split personality and the true nature of his alter ego, Tyler Durden. Both the novel by Chuck Palahniuk and the film directed by David Fincher examine the search for authenticity in an superficially material world.
