![]() The plot is faintly ridiculous at times but it works really well in the meta-framework they’re using. What he doesn’t realise is that twice a week, when he’s undergoing hypnosis, Tyler is waking up to run the world. The plot, concerns the narrator (now named Sebastian), and his life with Marla and their son (or, as he puts it, “the consequences of sport fucking”) after the first book where he’s now medicated and seeing a therapist. It does however provide an interesting device to explore how characters can grow independent of their authors (and author’s intentions – Tyler, has been around for a LOT longer than anyone thought) and how the movie impacted culture (and how some people don’t even know there’s a book). ![]() Whilst Chuck Palahniuk is a character throughout the whole book, his presence is not too overbearing. Firstly, do meta-narratives annoy you? By that I mean, books that know they’re books, books that feature their author as a character. ![]()
