ReviewsThis brilliant bit of nihilism succeeds where so many self-described transgressive novels do not: It's dangerous because it's so compelling., A ferocious, taut, mesmerizing novel whose economical stylishness and rigorous, perverse philosophical underpinnings put one in mind of Camus' ?The Stranger ?and J.G. Ballard's ?Crash.', Amazing and artful disturbance. ?Fight Club ?is for everybody who thinks and loves the fine American language.

It's the invention of Tyler Durden, and it's only the beginning of his plans for violent revenge on an empty consumer-culture world., The First Rule about fight club is you don't talk about fight club.

Then they go back to those jobs with blackened eyes and loosened teeth and the sense that they can handle anything.
