Pervasive and multidisciplinary,
this insightful exploration discusses how and why this seminal work
developed, and continues to grow, such a cult following. When
Fight Club punched its way onto the scene a decade ago, it
provided an unprecedented glimpse into the American male’s psyche
and rapidly turned into a euphemism for a variety of things that
should be “just understood” and not otherwise acknowledged. Key to
its success is the variety of lenses through which the story can be
interpreted; is it a story of male anxiety in a metrosexual world,
of ritual religion in a secular age, of escape from totalitarian
capitalism, or the spiritual malaise induced by
technologically-oriented society? Writers, conspiracy theorists,
and philosophers are among those ready to talk about Fight
Club’s ability to be all these and more.
