So, at the end of fight club, the narrator ends up in an hospital which he thinks is heaven, but i had two questions about it: first, it seems as if he somewhat knows he is not actually in heaven, since he says things like "calling marla from heaven" and says that marla writes to him from earth, i know that the narrator is crazy and fucked up but it seems that even in the ending he should have enough sanity to reason that those things are impossible (or else someone in history would have done that). And second, ¿does he have the possibility of abandoning the hospital?, it says that there are space monkeys in there, and that they are expecting him to "return" as Tyler, but it's somewhat shown in the novel that women and older men are not members of Fight Club and Project Mayhem (The Shrink, which the narrator calls "god", for example) and the hospital would not actually be run by space monkeys, or even if that were the case, he could just pretend to be Tyler, and then escape.

Sorry if my question is too stupid.

oh, no worries. they come now and again. ive already blocked the account and the ip and cleared the posts. we could do what a lot of sites do and make members decipher and type in hard-to-read words or phrases before each post. but that would suck soooo much haha

anytime you see something like that, a long post having nothing to do with the thread, particularly with links in the post, feel free to hit the "abuse" button. but that's not necessary so much because the spam accounts generally stand out.

i wish i could offer something constructive to your thread, but ive read a hellava lotta books since then D:

again, welcome to the cult.

I think he could escape if he wanted to but he is in heaven why would he want to go back to the hell that is project mayhem
I don't think he actually thinks it heaven, he just loves it there and his shrink. And yah he is crazy so I don think it would to weird if Marla hit him up
