Fight Club: A Novel
The first rule about fight club is you don't talk about fight club.Chuck Palahniuk showed himself to be his generation’s most visionary satirist in this, his first book.

There, two men fight "as long as they have to." This is a gloriously original work that exposes the darkness at the core of our modern world. Best Transgressive Fiction Novels

Adjustment Day: A Novel
“An irreverent satirical fantasy about a sudden and violent upheaval.… Think Tom Robbins channeling Jonathan Swift.” —David Takami, Seattle TimesAdjustment Day is an ingenious darkly comic work in which Chuck Palahniuk does what he does best: skewer the absurdities in our society. Geriatric politicians bring the nation to the brink of a third world war to control the burgeoning population of young males, while working-class men dream of burying the elites. Adjustment Day’s arrival makes real the logical conclusion of every separatist fantasy, alternative fact, and conspiracy theory lurking in the American psyche. Best Transgressive Fiction Novels
