Sinossi
Tyler Durden, disilluso dalla cultura vacua e consumistica imperante nel mondo occidentale, è un giovane che si trascina in una vita fatta di bugie e di fallimenti. La sua unica valvola di sfogo sono gli incontri clandestini di boxe nei sotterranei dei bar. Tyler crede di aver trovato in questo modo una strada per riscattare il vuoto della propria esistenza; ma nel mondo del pugilato non c'è posto per alcuna regola, freno o limite. Dal romanzo il regista David Fincher ha tratto un film. Postfazione di Fernanda Pivano.

Mary Ann Evans, in the 1850s, spoke out against the notion that "lady novelists" were capable of producing only "silly novels" - precious, sentimental, illogical and improbable claptrap - while men produced high literature. She changed her name to George Eliot and wrote as a "gender neutral" narrato Leggi tutto
the first rule of reading fight club is: you do not talk about reading fight club. which is a good thing because i honestly have no idea what i read. man, this book is W I L D.
You do not talk about Fight Club , but... Upon winning the Oregon Book Award for best novel and the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Award, Chuck Palahniuk’s visionary debut novel, Fight Club , was shot to the veins of mainstream fiction.

“You are not special. You're not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else. We're all part of the same compost heap. We're all singing, all dancing crap of the world.” Fight Club is absolutely tragic in its reflection of the real world. I get an Leggi tutto
I wondered whether this book would seem self-absorbed and shallow in our post-9/11 world, but instead I found it prophetic. Throughout the materialism and political correctness of the 1990's and Tyler Durden's response to it, you can sense how all that repressed mama's boy machismo is just hoping an Leggi tutto
This is satirical, cynical, Darkly intense. A mind f**k. What person in their right mind goes to support groups for cancer patients in order to get perspective on their own life and cure their insomnia? That's what kind of story this is. This is how it begins. An Obsession with death. Then the fight Leggi tutto
The insomniac (and slightly unhinged?) narrator meets Marla in Support Groups (plural), and he meets Tyler Durden by way of a fight in a car park; his world remains forever changed when Tyler brings him into the urban underbelly that is the Fight Club, and he drags Marla into this sub-world too. He
Cool. And short! Which I really appreciated, as I don't think this would be the kind of book you could drag out and have the same effect. The movie follows the book pretty faithfully (except the ending), but even if you have seen it, I would heartily recommend reading this. It's just so. well. done. I Leggi tutto
