On the one hand, the book depicts the crisis of the narrator, and on the other hand, the monologue contains guidelines for building a terrorist network and bomb making instructions. You take a percent concentration of fuming nitric acid and add the acid to three times the amount of sulfuric acid.

Do this in an ice bath. Then add glycerin drop-by-drop with an eye dropper. I know this because Tyler knows this. Mix the nitro with sawdust, and you have a nice plastic explosive Palahniuk In the moment of the attempted suicide, the events of the past years pass by him again, and that is when the narrator starts telling his story.
Hence, the plot is devised as a closed circle, it both starts and ends with the killing of his alter ego, though, at the beginning of the book, the reader does not yet have all necessary clues to know that Tyler and the narrator are the same person. That Tyler Durden and the narrator are indeed one and the same person is indicated in several scenes throughout the novel. As he has to travel a great deal for his job, he thinks a lot about time and space. Due to his insomnia, he is not able to sleep and in the state of being half asleep and half awake, he has confused dreams on the planes.
You wake up at LAX. How I met Tyler was I went to a nude beach. This was the very end of summer and I was asleep.

In case the narrator does not have to travel around for his job, he takes night jobs as movie projectionist and waiter. During the night, he is Tyler, the handsome man who does what he wants.
Thus, in the night, his bad side comes to life and he does the things he would not do in daytime. The opposition between day and night therefore stands for the split personality of the narrator: Tyler would work part-time as a movie projectionist. Because of his nature, Tyler could only work night jobs.
If a projectionist called in sick, the union called Tyler, Some people are night people. Some people are day people. I could only work a day job. The fact that the narrator is a split personality questions his reliability. Can the reader believe what he is telling them or are the fight clubs and the terrorist actions only excesses of his screwed-up mind? The narrator comes to his senses for a short moment and realizes everything that he has done and admits it to Marla.
The narration starts in medias res, and it is through the interior monologue that the reader gets to know his problems that lead to his terrorist actions. He is trained to live a life that is empty of all emotions as he has to apply simple arithmetic to loss of life. If a new car built by my company leaves Chicago traveling west at 60 miles per hour, and the rear differential locks up, and the car crashes and burns with every one trapped inside, does my company initiate a recall?
You take the population of vehicles in the field A and multiply it by the probable rate of failure B , then multiply the result by the average cost of an out-of-court settlement C. A times B times C equals X. If X is greater than the cost of a recall, we recall the cars and no one gets hurt.
