Fight Club

Chuck Palahniuk 1996

Devastation Rating

Emotionally Ruined
psychological literary fiction trauma

Our Take

The narrator creates Tyler Durden and does not know it. Palahniuk writes masculinity as a cult of self-destruction, and the unreliable narration is not a trick but the whole thesis. You cannot trust the voice because the voice cannot trust itself. The soap is made from human fat.
