Reviews

<p>'An exciting, thoughtful, and punchy collection of essays exploring the complex screening of philosophical ideas in Fincher 's Fight Club, including reflections on identity, gender, consumerism, nihilism, narration, reason versus the passions, and romantic comedy. A stimulating and enjoyable read for philosophers, theorists, students and film fans alike.' - Robert Sinnerbrink, Macquarie University, Australia
