Hver weekend mødes unge, velstående mænd og familiefædre i kældre og på parkeringspladser, for at slå løs på hinanden for sjov. "Fight Club" er Chuck Palahniuks fortælling om Tyler Durden og hans opfindelse af Fight Club. Tyler Durden er et anerkistisk geni, en filmoperatør og tjener. Han er mørk og han har store planer om at få hævn over en verden, hvor det varmeste sted man kan komem er i Supportgrupper for kræftpatienter. Han laver en klub hvor mænd møder op og slår hinandens tænder løse og slås for at slås.

An insomniac drifts through the meaninglessness of modern life – until he finds purpose in violence. Prisoner to the 9 to 5 and desperate to feel something real, he finds relief in support groups meant for other people’s suffering. Then he meets Tyler Durden. They begin with a fight in a car park. Others watch. Others return. Soon the gatherings acquire rules, rituals, and a strange discipline. What feels at first like release takes on a sharper edge, binding its members through bruises and secrecy. As Tyler’s influence grows, the narrator’s sense of self begins to loosen. When the truth surfaces, it does not restore order. It reveals how far things have already moved beyond his control. 'Hypnotic, pitiless and told brilliantly' Bret Easton Ellis 'Like a noxious Doug Coupland, Palahniuk charts new-felt and totally contemporary categories of despair' Ali Smith, Guardian 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.

Chuck Palahniuk showed himself to be his generation's most visionary satirist in this, his first book. Fight Club's estranged narrator leaves his lackluster job when he comes under the thrall of Tyler Durden, an enigmatic young man who holds secret after-hours boxing matches in the basements of bars. There, two men fight "as long as they have to." This is a gloriously original work that exposes the darkness at the core of our modern world.

THE FIRST RULE about fight club is you don't talk about fight club. Every weekend, in the basements and parking lots of bars across the country, young men with whitecollar 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.
