Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk Chuck Palahniuk appeared to be his generation’s most visionary comedian in this, his to begin with a book. Battle Club’s repelled storyteller takes off his lackluster work when he comes beneath the thrall of Tyler Durden, a puzzling youthful man who holds mystery after-hours boxing matches within the cellar of bars. There, two men battle "as long as they need to." This can be an eminently unique work that uncovered the haziness at the center of our present-day world.
