Fight club - Chuck Palahniuk

Every weekend, in the basements and parking lots across the country, young men with good white-collar jobs and absent fathers 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 its only the beginning of his plans for revenge on a world where cancer support groups have the corner on human warmth. Where does Tyler Durden come from? Why do his violent schemes so capture the troubled insomniac narrator? The answers in FIGHT CLUB reveal a world poised on the brink of mayhem - and introduce a blazingly original literary talent.
