Fight Club is a 1996 novel by Chuck Palahniuk. It follows the experiences of an unnamed protagonist struggling with insomnia. Inspired by his doctor's exasperated remark that insomnia is not suffering, the protagonist finds relief by impersonating a seriously ill person in several support groups. Then he meets a mysterious man named Tyler Durden and establishes an underground fighting club as radical psychotherapy. In 1999, director David Fincher adapted the novel into a film of the same name, starring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton. The film acquired a cult following despite underperforming financially. The film's prominence heightened the profile of the novel and that of Palahniuk. The sequel Fight Club 2 was released in comic book form in May 2015.Fight Club 3 was released in comic book form in 2019.

Review of 'Fight club' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Forse aver visto (diverse volte) il film ha influito sul giudizio, un po' come con Il Signore degli Anelli... ma per me, come molti libri di quest'autore, Fight Club è un bellissimo esempio di stile. Non so cosa aggiungere se non che va letto almeno una volta, così come va visto il film, che a ben pensarci potrebbe essere uno dei migliori trasferimenti di pellicola di sempre, fotogrammi nascosti inclusi.
