Synopsis

Every weekend, in basements and car parks across the country, young men with good white-collar jobs and absent fathers take off their shoes and shirts and fight each other barehanded.

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 the world...

Goodreads review by Bill on March 13, 2019

I wondered whether this book would seem self-absorbed and shallow in our post-9/11 world, but instead I found it prophetic.

This is how it begins. An Obsession with death. Then the fight......more
