FIGHT CLUB ANTHOLOGY: Read The Introduction Here!

 I Am Jack's Completely Unauthorized Essay CollectionSomething I have not done nearly enough promotion on, is the awesome new Fight Club anthology that just came out. I say it's awesome for many reasons (one of them being, that yours truly has an essay in it), but primarily because, Read Mercer Schuchardt, the guy who edited it, is someone I've known for a long time now. And he has one of the most unique and smart approaches to "Fight Club" that I have ever read.

"You Do Not Talk About Fight Club: I Am Jack's Completely Unauthorized Essay Collection" is a collection of essays on Chuck Palahniuk, the novel for 'Fight Club', and of course, the movie. It came out September 1st, and you should all order it here from Amazon. Hell, it's only $10!

To convince you all that this book is worth your hard earned money, I have partnered up with Jeff Mues at BenBella Books, the publishers, for a very exciting promotion. Basically, every month, for at least the next three months, we are going to feature a essay from the book for free download on this site. Starting today!

Download The Introduction To The 'Fight Club' Anthology Here!

This book is the first of its kind. And God knows, it would be great if it did well and we got to see more of these. So if you like what you read, please support Jeff and Read and go buy the book from Amazon today! Help us spread the word on this anthology!

I find it amusing and ironic that Chuck wrote the foreward for the so-called "completely unauthorized" book.

B/c whether or not it's authorized has nothing to do with Chuck.

the discount is nice, but after shipping won't it come out to around the normal price? it might be more worth it to skip the wait and just buy it at retail from the bookstore.

i think "unauthorized" just means the guy that collected all the essays just did it on his own, and wasn't hired by a publisher to come up with them.

I'm actually halfway through this book and it is awesome I would recommend this book as much as fight club itself.

Just got my copy thru a friend. Looks interesting. Will come in handy when I get to writing my own essay on Fight Club for a Postmodern Lit class I'm taking.

Why don't you try an essay on Beer of the Month Club... Fight club is old news now and it is needless to say that Fight Club will soon go to the Oldies, but Goldies category.
