Mikez (thanks) has found a great article on Jim Emerson's blog, which I want to put before you guys. And while I was at it, I went through all the FIGHT CLUB links I had collected but had just not found the time yet to share with you.

Does anyone have an opinion about how much the story of Snow White may have influenced Fight Club, perhaps especially the post-modern versions such as the one by Donald Barthelme from '67?
ReplyDeletelike the one where snow white turns out to be her stepmother and the evil witch at the same time?! and the dwarfs form project mayhem? WTF!
ReplyDeleteThis is what happens when someone studies film at University.
ReplyDeleteHi Lara, thanks for your comment. That's an interesting question. In the interviews with author Chuck Palahniuk I have read I have never heard a mention of "Snow White" as an inspiration for the novel. However Palahniuk says he writes Grimm's fairy tales for adults, so in a way it may be true.
ReplyDeleteOddly enough I can see some parallels between the stories. But I still wonder how you got the idea these two narratives might be related. What did you have in mind, in particular?
Hey Lara, I'd be interested in reading your paper on the influences on Fight Club, maybe you could publish a copy on this blog?
