Every weekend, in basements and parking lots across the country, young men with good white-collar jobs and absent fathers take off their shoes and shirts and fight each other barehanded for as long as they have to. Fight Club is the invention of Tyler Durden, projectionist, waiter and dark, anarchic genius.

Disturbing debut novel, recounting the events in a bare-knuckle boxing club for white-collar workers, in a small town on America's western seaboard.
