KEvery 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. Then they

go back to those jobs with blackened

eyes and loosened teeth and the sense

that they can handle anything. Fight

Club is the invention of Tyler Durden,

projectionist, waiter and dark, anarchic

genius. And it’s only the beginning of

his plans for revenge on a world.

“A dark, unsettling and nerve-chaffing satire”

SEATTLE TIMES

“A memorable debut by an important new writer.”

Robert Stone

“Diabolically dark and funny writing”

ISPatrick Bateman moves among the

young and trendy in 1980s Manhattan.

Young, handsome, and well educated,

bateman earns his fortune on Wall

Street. Expressing his true self

through torture and murder, Bateman

prefigures an apocalyptic horror that

no society could bear to confront. His

nights he spends in ways we cannot

begin to fathom - doing impermissible

things to women. He is living his own

‘American Dream’.

“Mean and lean horror comedy classic”

NEW YORK TIMES

“A beautifully controlled, careful, important novel.”

Fay Weldon,THE WASHINGTON POST

“Serious, clever and shatteringly effective”
