As the story progresses, the narrator's apartment is blown up and he moves in with Tyler Durden, a charismatic blond he meets on a business trip. In return for letting the narrator stay with him, Tyler asks the narrator to fight with him, which eventually leads to the formation of the Fight Club, a place wherein two people vent out their frustration by using fighting as a recreational event.

As the Narrator is faced with the terrifying truth behind Tyler, the narrator fights against all odds to thwart Tyler attempts at chaos.Fight Club was published by 1997 by RHUK and is available in paperback.
