Book 90:
Fight Club – Chuck
Palahniuk
History:
Palahniuk once had an altercation while camping, and though he returned to work
bruised and swollen, his co-workers avoided asking him what had happened on the
camping trip. Their reluctance to know what happened in his private life
inspired him to write Fight Club.
Palahniuk
first tried to publish another novel, Invisible Monsters, but
publishers rejected it as too disturbing. Therefore, Palahniuk instead
concentrated on Fight Club, intending it to be more disturbing. Initially Fight
Club was published as a seven-page short story in the compilation Pursuit of
Happiness (1995), but Palahniuk expanded it to novel length (in which the
original short story became chapter six); Fight Club: A Novel was published in
1996.
