Fight Club (1999) BOOK VS FILM

Welcome to DEATH BY ADAPTATION, a bi-weekly book club where we choose one classic book and compare and contrast it against its cinematic adaptations.

In this episode, we discuss the 1996 Chuck Palahniuk novel FIGHT CLUB, and the classic 1999 film adaptation by David Fincher starring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton. We talk about the exploration of toxic masculinity, the dangers of consumerism, and what constitutes as "literature for men".

Hosts: Ewan Gleadow, Nicolò Grasso

Featuring: Jakub Flasz
