Fight Club (Vintage)

Disturbing debut novel, recounting the events in a bare-knuckle boxing club for white-collar workers, in a small town on America's western seaboard.

Every weekend, in basement 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 for 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, projectinonist, waiter and dark, anarchic genius. And it's only the beginning of his plans for revenge on a word where cancer support groups have the corner on human warmth.
