Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk follows an insomniac narrator who forms an underground fight club as a radical form of male bonding and self-therapy. As the club grows, it evolves into something far more anarchic, challenging societal norms and personal identity. The story is a dark and provocative exploration of consumer culture and masculinity.

Nine spine-tingling, mind-altering, and deliciously atmospheric, journey into the dark side of America with nine of its most uncanny classics.

Vintage Classics' American Gothic Series
Spine-tingling, mind-altering, and deliciously atmospheric, journey into the dark side of America with nine of its most uncanny classics.

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

Hypnotic, pitiless and told brilliantly - Bret Easton Ellis

Like a noxious Doug Coupland, Palahiuk charts new-felt and totally contemporary categories of despair - Ali Smith, Guardian
