It follows the experiences of an unnamed protagonist struggling with insomnia. Inspired by his doctor's exasperated remark that insomnia is not suffering\, the protagonist finds relief by impersonating a seriously ill person in several support groups. Then he meets a mysterious man named Tyler Durden and establishes an underground fighting club as radical psychotherapy.\n\n"In 1999\, director David Fincher adapted the novel into a film of the same name\, starring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton. The film acquired a cult following despite lower than expected box-office results. The film's prominence heightened the profile of the novel and that of Palahniuk."\n URL;VALUE=URI:/about-us/events/2017/book-vs-movie-fight-club SUMMARY:Book vs. movie: Fight Club DTSTART:20171122T010000Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
