Fight Club: A Novel
Chuck Palahniuk ⢠2005
The first rule about fight club is you don't talk about fight club. Chuck Palahniuk showed himself to be his generationâs most visionary satirist in this, his first book. Fight Clubâs estranged narrator leaves his lackluster job when he comes under the thrall of Tyler Durden, an enigmatic young man who holds secret after-hours boxing matches in the basements of bars. 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.

Queer
William S. Burroughs ⢠2022
<p><b>âA major work, Burroughsâs heart laid bare, the origin of his writingââAllen Ginsberg</b></p><p><b>The definitive text of William S. Burroughsâs early, long-unpublished novel, reissued on the seventieth anniversary of the year of its writing, now adapted for film directed by Luca Guadagnino and starring Daniel Craig</b></p><p>Originally written in 1952 but not published till 1985, <i>Queer</i> is a haunting tale of possession and exorcism. Both an unflinching autobiographical self-portrait and a coruscatingly political novel, it is both Burroughsâs only realist love story and a montage of comic-grotesque fantasies that paved the way for his masterpiece, <i>Naked Lunch</i>.</p><p>Set in Mexico City during the early fifties, <i>Queer</i> follows William Lee, the protagonist of Burroughsâs debut novel Junky, a man afflicted with acute heroin withdrawal and romantic yearnings for Eugene Allerton. As Lee breaks down over the course of his hopeless pursuit of desire from bar to bar in the American expatriate scene, the trademark Burroughsian voice emerges, a maniacal mix of self-lacerating humor and the ugly American at his ugliest.</p><p>Now a cult classic and a highly regarded part of his oeuvre, reissued on the seventieth anniversary of the year of its writing, this edition of <i>Queer</i> features a contextualizing introduction by the eminent Burroughs scholar Oliver Harris.</p>
