{"product_id":"you-do-not-talk-about-fight-club-isbn-9781933771526","title":"You Do Not Talk About Fight Club","description":"Pervasive and multidisciplinary, this insightful exploration discusses how and why this seminal work developed, and continues to grow, such a cult following. When \u003ci\u003eFight Club\u003c\/i\u003e punched its way onto the scene a decade ago, it provided an unprecedented glimpse into the American male's psyche and rapidly turned into a euphemism for a variety of things that should be \"just understood\" and not otherwise acknowledged. Key to its success is the variety of lenses through which the story can be interpreted; is it a story of male anxiety in a metrosexual world, of ritual religion in a secular age, of escape from totalitarian capitalism, or the spiritual malaise induced by technologically-oriented society? Writers, conspiracy theorists, and philosophers are among those ready to talk about \u003ci\u003eFight Club\u003c\/i\u003e's ability to be all these and more.\u003cb\u003eRead Mercer Schuchardt\u003c\/b\u003e is an assistant professor of communication arts at Marymount Manhattan College.
