Theme:Chuck Palahniuk showed himself to be his generation's most visionary satirist in this, his first book. His lackluster job when he comes under the thrall of Tyler Durden, an enigmatic young man who holds secret after-hours boxing matches in the basements of bars. There,two men fight "as long as they have to," This is a gloriously original worm that exposes the darkness at the core of our modern world. Quote 1"The newspaper says the police have no real leads. Youth gang or sace aliens, whoever it was could've died while.. The idea is to take some Joe on the street who's never been in a fight and recruit him." Page 119 Quote 2 Tyler puts a folded blank into the blank into the box. Then everyone in the committee takes a paper out of the box. The way Tyler explained the process to me, if somebody draws a blank, he only has his homework to do that week." Page 120Quote 3 "There's a vacuum inside the cathode ray tube so the idea is the mic one ingredient that will burn very fast with a second...The nouvelle cuisine of anarchy. Barium nitrate in a sauce of sulfur and garnished." Page 186Quote 4"Even after the movie's on television, the warming dots will still be there, Even on ideas. The alarm is on the feed reel so the movie Projectionist can nap. A movie projectionist does a lot he's not supposed to." Page 28
