After the narrator meets Tyler Durden, he goes back to his apartment to find out that it has been blown up and that everything he owned was gone and all he had left was the clothes on his back.

Pg.1 Kenneth Gouwens Prof. H. ENG 102 6/4/15 The Importance of the Coma Baby Jay McInerey's novel Bright Lights, Big City is about a young man (you) living in New York and working for a newspaper with a very good reputation. However, at night, he is busy visiting multiple bars, drinking, and snorting coke in the mens bathroom. Throughout the story, we are reminded of what the protagonist saw in a local newspaper entitled “Coma Baby,” where a woman who is pregnant went into a coma and the baby has been inside her and doctors are wondering if it will even live outside of it's little world. The coma baby is used to represent the main character and his situation that he's trapped in as he tries to escape the addiction of cocaine and do something with his life. At one point in the story, the protagonist has a dream in which he visits the coma baby.
After fooling the group into believing he is also a victim, he becomes addicted to all kinds of support groups when he realises it cures his insomnia temporarily. During the course of the story the narrator meets a man named Tyler Durden and moves in with him when his apartment is blown up in a gas explosion. The narrator stops going to the support meetings and the two men start ‘fight club’, where men come to fight each other and escape their normal lives. Tyler quickly becomes the leader of fight club and turns it into an anti-consumerist, anti-corporate terrorist organisation known as ‘Project Mayhem’. My favourite quote from the novel deals with the running theme of consumerism: “It’s only after you’ve lost everything,” Tyler says, “that you’re free to do anything.”[1] Normally the term ‘losing everything’ would obviously carry with it negative connotations but Tyler means that when a person rids themselves of all their material possessions it is only then that they are truly free.

Several years later, upon his successful return, Julian shares his findings with another lawyer, destined for the same fate as he once experienced, to teach him the error of his ways.
