Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk
Manage episode 365093297 series 3341333
This month in Required Reading we talk about Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk. The book that coined the term 'snowflake,' gave us the rules, and made you question fancy soap. From a philosophical work that came out before 9/11, clearly, join us as we meet Tyler Durden.
Host: Dr. Nic Hoffmann
Co-Hosted: Mike Burns and Mike Carroll
From the W. W. Norton book description: "
The first rule about fight club is you don't talk about fight club.
In his debut novel, Chuck Palahniuk showed himself to be his generation's most visionary satirist. Fight Club's estranged narrator leaves his lackluster job when he comes under the thrall of Tyler Durden, an enigmatic young man who holds secret boxing matches in the basement of bars. There two men fight "as long as they have to." A gloriously original work that exposes what is at the core of our modern world."
