The ones stricken with the caricaturing probably wouldn't/didn't even know it was about them.įight Club is about them - the caricature'd. Dean Swift was so goddam mad at the ignorance cajoling all around that he aimed to give it to 'em good with his Gulliver's. He got it, he hit it,he squeezes the nipples of it, he tweeks the flag, he flaunts everything that the grey hairs at Del Webb's Sun City (where children and pets are not allowed) would abhor. Is a fully-wrought, meticulously played out and played-through tour de force of satire. The Fight Club is a piece of work that won't stay in the woodwork. There, this writer named Chuck Pahalniuk, well, it's from there he is from. Well, if at the point of Pasco-Kennewick and so on you had hung a left and gone not that far but, anyhow, mobile home'd light years away/back, you would have come upon a hole in the desert called, yes, of course, Burbank. Especially if you know the beauty of the 'tropical in comparison' Portland where spring is so gorgeous with the early blooming flowers and flower-ladened trees!

The geography is important and in the case of that neck of the woods, dry,arid, sagebrush-like, inhospitable, the importance rasps and grates.

that you have just caught up with, there, and you set your sites downriver, toward Portland, Oregon. and you make a right and continue along the Columbia River, the mighty gem of the ocean!. There is a point - a time - when you are travelling south out of Spokane and you come to the tri-cities, Kennewick, Pasco and so on.
