'Fight Club' is Chuck Palahniuk's most famous novel. Everyone remembers the film by director David Fincher with Brad Pitt in the lead role? It is based precisely on this book. This is a novel-challenge, a novel created to spite everyone and in defiance of everything; it describes a generation of embittered people who have lost the notion of what is permitted and what is not, where good and evil are, who they themselves are and who surrounds them. Palahniuk himself calls his 'Fight Club' the new 'Great Gatsby'. So what are they like — these Gatsbys of the end of the 20th century?
