In recent American literature many have been the authors who have visited the American dream as an argument to also offer its shadows and deformities. The result is that more complete notion of any society through reality in raw, dirty or raw ... AND Chuck Palahniuk pulls a lysergic satire and an almost apocalyptic action to give his particular review of the moral miseries that underlie this dream for optimists, good guys and others.
From Bukowski but also Foster Wallace, to Cloak or Palahniuk himself. The baton is passed from generation to generation to justify in literary chronicle the true weight of the American dream. Because as a dream there is a submerged part of the subconscious, like the part of the iceberg that subsists under the simple appearance of the foreseeable size of the dissident with the social benefits.
Synopsis
The word is transmitted only among the chosen ones with full confidence. Talbott Reynolds' mysterious blue book is passed from hand to hand in hiding and an elite bloodthirsty society prepares to follow its instructions: Adjustment Day is here. When it arrives, America's Most Hated will be executed and a new order will be established. And the United States will be reunited into three new states separated by race and sexual preferences.
Chuck Palahniuk openly shows the grotesque reality that would take place if the separatist fantasies and conspiracy theories that the American psyche harbors were to prevail. This deformed and macabre satire of American society fuels, with even more brutal exaggeration and in a present of unprecedented social upheaval, the punches that Fight club hit the system.
