Fight Club 2 preview

Thanks to Mel the Movie Guy for this:
I am looking forward to Fight Club 2 as I loved the original move so much. I still quote parts of it from time to time. Here is a six page preview of the upcoming book.


In a recent interview with Hustler Magazine, Chuck talked more extensively about the sequel, so we now have what looks like the most complete plot description of the story. Here goes:

The sequel will be told from the– at first– submerged perspective of Tyler Durden as he observes the day-to-day tedium of the narrator’s life. Because 20th Century-Fox created the convention of calling the protagonist Jack, I’m calling him Cornelius. He’s living a compromised life with a failing marriage, unsure about his passion for his wife. The typical midlife bullshit. Likewise, Marla is unsatisfied and dreams of accessing the wild man she’d once fallen in love with. She tampers with the small pharmacy of drugs that her husband needs to suppress Tyler, and– go figure– Tyler reemerges to terrorize their lives.

Chuck also spoke about the process and inspiration for writing the sequel:

The sequel has been percolating in my mind for years. My only worry is about presenting it in the form of a graphic novel. The medium shapes the messages, and I’ll be relearning how to tell stories. My tendency is to hold the entire plot in my mind until I’m afraid of forgetting it. Once I start writing, I can’t stop. That feverish, ill-fed, exhausting stint of writing in the only part of the process that I fear.
