fight club derived from passage in "a Scanner Darkly'?
    #6606395 - 02/24/07 06:18 PM (16 years, 11 months ago)

So I'm reading "A Scenner Darkly" and came upon this passage:

Quote:


Hell, he thought; for that matter, maybe Bob Arctor rises up in the night from deep sleep and does trips like that. Has sexual relations with the wall. Or mysterious freaks show up who he's never seen before, a whole bunch of them, with special heads that swivel all the way around, like owls'. And the audio-scanners will pick up the far-out demented conspiracies hatched out by him and them to blow up the men's room at the Standard station by filling the toilet with plastic explosives for God knows what brain-charred purpose. Maybe this sort of stuff goes on every night while he just imagines he's asleep--and is gone by day.





Anyone know if Chuck Palahniuk ever said he got his idea from this?

Go to Chuckpalahniuk.net and ask him. I heard he answers questions there.

I don't see what that has to do with Fight Club.

Most of Fight Club was derived from the Cacophony Society, which itself was derived from Operation Mindfuck and the Church of the Subgenius.
