Synopsis

Chuck Palahniuk showed himself to be his generation's most visionary satirist in this, his first book. Fight Club's estranged narrator leaves his lackluster job when he comes under the thrall of Tyler Durden, an enigmatic young man who holds secret after-hours boxing matches in the basements of bars. There, two men fight "as long as they have to." This is a gloriously original work that exposes the darkness at the core of our modern world.

About this title

Review:

A volatile, brilliantly creepy satire.

A powerful, dark, original novel. This is a memorable debut by an important writer.--Robert Stone

This brilliant bit of nihilism succeeds where so many self-described transgressive novels do not: It's dangerous because it's so compelling.

A noir fable with a punch...A genuine, two-fisted talent.--Katherine Dunn

Irresistible...As with chocolate or pornography, you struggle to savor it slowly, yet feel compelled to zip through its smart, atomic, nightmarish world. A visionary novel of beautiful violence and creepy intensity.--Scott Heim

Palahniuk's utterly original creation will make even the most jaded reader sit up and take notice.

Fight Club is hot. It's great. Even I can't write this well.--Thom Jones
