Chuck Palahniuk
Fight Club
A Novel
Chuck Palahniuk's outrageous and
startling debut novel that exploded
American literature and spawned a
movement.
THE FIRST RULE about fight club is you don't talk
about fight club.
Every weekend, in the basements and parking lots
of bars across the country, young men with whitecollar
jobs and failed lives take off their shoes and
shirts and fight each other barehanded just as long as
they have to. Then they go back to those jobs with
blackened eyes and loosened teeth and the sense that
they can handle anything. Fight club is the invention
of Tyler Durden, projectionist, waiter, and dark, anarchic
genius, and it's only the beginning of his plans
for violent revenge on an empty consumer-culture
world.
"An astonishing debut . . . Fight Club is a dark,
unsettling, and nerve-chafing satire."—Seattle Times
"Fight Club offers diabolically sharp and funny
writing."—Washington Post Book World
"A powerful, dark, original novel . . . a memorable
debut by an important new writer."—Robert Stone
CHUCK PALAHNIUK, whose latest novel is
