Bookroo's summary

An unnamed narrator, disillusioned with his mundane life, is drawn into the chaotic world of Tyler Durden, who orchestrates underground fight clubs. As the fights intensify, the narrator's grip on reality slips, revealing a dark, anarchic undercurrent in society. What will he discover about himself and the world he thought he knew?

From the publisher

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.
