Narrator's Name
No hard time given. I'm coming across really stupid on this website. I wasn't saying that men read it cos of the lack of father. No, not at all, just the narrator seems to go on about it, like he wishes he had a better relationship with his father. Also, Chuck wrote in his afterward, about how he wanted the book to be a little like 'The Great Gasby'. But for me, the book sort of reminded me of 'The waste land'. By T. S. Eliot. I know i'm going to get a lot of people disagreeing with me on this one, but then again, what do i know? I mean i am a girl after all. Best to remain silent.
In this case, I quite agree.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Females aren't the minority here they way they are on some websites, so the whole, "I'm a girl so what do I know" thing really doesn't fly. Announcing you are a girl and trying to play it up is (at least in part) what's making you feel singled out. You wanted attention. You got it.
Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
If you can present even a SHRED of evidence for claiming that FIght Club is in the slightest way related to the Waste Land, I'll be mighty impressed.
thanks for sharing.blackhawk tactical pants.

The narrator's name is John Jacob Jingleheimerschmidt. You heard it here first!!
What a coincidence!
His name is my name, too!

They're both books! OMG
The Waste Land isn't a book!
It was first published, sans author's notes, in a magazine.
I *heart* me some Waste Land.

haha. four years, two different usernames, and this site still hasn't lost it's fun. i don't really know what else to say on this matter other than... lol
Wasn't Fight Club also first published in the now defunct Story Magazine. At least, a chapter of it was. that's pretty close.
You're right, Nate. A chapter of Fight Club was originally published as a short story in a magazine, making it terribly close to The Waste Land.
This also makes Guts identical to Waste Land. Old T.S. was actually writing about masturbatory tragedies. Who knew?
This is why we can't have nice things.
Maybe we just don't have all the footnotes and annotations to Guts yet?
It's chapter six, the Microsoft demo, using the rules of Fight Club as a transitional device. My first Fight Club edition, published '06 with a new afterword, says so.
The first rule of the Haunted Tunnel Tour is you don't talk about the Haunted Tunnel Tour.
Yes, I want to play. I really, really do.
I think the narrator was a black man and his name was Demarius. He lived in Toledo, Ohio. He was the baddest toughest dude in town and he had a huge weener. He probably banged Marla like 100 times and he never used a condom. He was basically the man.
His name was Joe Narrator. Chuck just pulled a Neal Stephenson Snow Crash on us all and we didn't even realize it!
We are all allowed to kick puppies that are biting babies. The question is, what if the baby was biting the puppy? Babies bite too.
I never had a father, so that answers why I read fight club... or it will once I sort out why I don't have a penis... let me get back to you, this is hurting my head.
