Synopsis
Fight Club is a 1996 novel by Chuck Palahniuk. The book follows the experiences of an anonymous protagonist struggling with his way of life and changes in American pop-culture masculinity. To overcome this, he forms a bond with a mysterious anarchist named Tyler, and establishes an underground fighting club as radical psychotherapy.
Reviews
On Jul 17 2011, West of Eden Books said:
Chuck Palahniuk reminds me of Jerzy Kozinski and Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. When you read his books, you are taken into disturbing worlds where things are turned upside down and you are upset, even appalled at times by his visions.I am a reader who loves the type of book that makes you think and question your perspective on the world, so I adored Fight Club. It centers around a man who hates his job, hates his life, and is beginning to reject and be angered by consumerism. His growing insomnia sends him to the doctor, who advises that he should go to a support group about testicular cancer, to see "what real suffering is". This is one plot line as he becomes deeply involved in these groups.Another plot line is about the actual fight club, how it comes about, the rules, and what it morphs into. Then the novel explodes with a plot twist that will have you reeling. A truly interesting psychological journey. I recommend this book highly.
