« La première règle du fight club, c'est qu'on ne parle pas du fight club. » Tous les week-ends, dans certains endroits des États-Unis, des jeunes gens tout à fait comme il faut se mettent en petite tenue et se battent à poings nus aussi longtemps que possible. Puis ils retournent à leur vie de tous les jours, arborant yeux pochés et dents déchaussées, avec le sentiment qu'ils sont prêts pour affronter n'importe quoi. Les fight clubs sont l'invention de Tyler Durden, projectionniste, serveur de restaurant et anarchiste de génie. Et ce n'est que le début de son plan pour se venger d'un monde dans lequel les ligues anti-cancer ont monopolisé la charité humaine. Comme le dit le narrateur : « Si les gens pensent que vous êtes en train de mourir, ils vous donnent toute leur attention. » Qui est Tyler Durden et d'où vient-il ?
Mené à un train d'enfer et non orthodoxe, ce roman révèle la folie de Tyler Durden, jusqu'à ce que le narrateur se retrouve lui-même sur le toit de plus haut building de la région, un détonateur entre les mains...

Are you there, Satan? It's me, Madison' Meet Madison, whip-tongued daughter of a narcissistic film star and a billionaire, abandoned at a Swiss boarding school over Christmas while her parents are off adopting more orphans. Madison dies of a marijuana overdose and awakes to find herself in Hell, sharing her cell with a motley crew of young sinners that's almost too good to be true.

Stories you'll never forget--just try--from literature's favorite transgressive author Representing work that spans several years, Make Something Up is a compilation of 21 stories and one novella (some previously published, some not) that will disturb and delight. In "Expedition," fans will be thrilled to find to see a side of Tyler Durden never seen before in a precusor story to Fight Club . And in other stories, the absurdity of both life and death are on full display; in "Zombies," the best and brightest of a high school prep school become tragically addicted to the latest drug craze: electric shocks from cardiac defibrillators. In "Knock, Knock," a son hopes to tell one last off-color joke to a father in his final moments, while in "Tunnel of Love," a massage therapist runs the curious practice of providing 'relief' to dying clients. Funny, caustic, bizarre, poignant; these stories represent everything readers have come to love and expect from Chuck Palahniuk.
