Chuck Palahniuk's outrageous and startling debut novel that exploded American
literature and spawned a movement. Every weekend, in the basements and parking
lots of bars across the country, young men with white-collar 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.
