Book Description
With more than 300,000 copies sold, Chuck Palahniuk's brilliant first novel and cult classic is being reissued with a new Introduction by the author
An underground classic since its first publication in 1996, Fight Club is widely recognized as one of the most original and provocative novels of the last decade. Now the author adds his own voice to the critical debate he generated. In a new Introduction, he discusses the various interpretations in the popular media of Fight Club and the movie it inspired, as well as his personal reactions to the work's reception and the influence that the Fight Club phenomenon has already had on our culture.
Chuck Palahniuk's darkly funny first novel tells the story of a disenfranchised young man frustrated with his bureacratic job and superficial relationships and disillusioned with the consumer culture's prepackaged pleasures. Relief for him and his peers comes in the form of Tyler Durden, the intensely charismatic inventor of Fight Club. Waiters, clerks, and middlemen seek out the visceral satisfaction of secret after-hours boxing matches in the basements of bars, thinking they have found a way to live beyond their confining and stultifying lives. But in Tyler's world there are no rules, no limits, no brakes.

Splendida e articolatissima riflessione sulla schizofrenia del maschio moderno.
A glorious, hilarious, violent, and unnerving romp through nihilism and especially anti-consumerism. Though I don't think this is Chuck's best work (probably much to the surprise of others), it is nonetheless spectacular. Every time I read it, I glean a little more from it.
Not a bad book, so far as it goes. I'm surprised by how similar it is to the movie, how much of the words were lifted straight into the film script. I was a little worried I'd either love it a dozen times more or less than the movie, but I suppose they come out about even. I'm still not buying whate ... Continue
Not a bad book, so far as it goes. I'm surprised by how similar it is to the movie, how much of the words were lifted straight into the film script. I was a little worried I'd either love it a dozen times more or less than the movie, but I suppose they come out about even. I'm still not buying whatever Palahniuk's selling, but it's an enjoyable afternoon's read.
I caught it at a MU in Milan and was very curious about it since I'd seen the movie (one of the best movie from books I know by the way).

《恐怖组织行政指南》
《搏击俱乐部》最表面的故事是一个精神有问题的人如何发展了一个地 下俱乐部，并最终将其扩展成恐怖组织的故事。无疑泰勒在剧中说的话 急剧煽动性质，导致最后整个组织在失控的边缘——他们信仰泰勒的精 神而不是泰勒本身。用人油做肥皂顺便制造炸弹的小聪明也是很值得借 鉴的，至少下次无聊的假期我们可以有更好玩的事情可做。后面各种大 破坏计划更是让人神经亢奋，领导者的高智商不可小觑。

How great is this book? It's awesome. :)
