Chuck Palahniuk. Biytsivsky klub. (Fight Club)
"The novel, in which the "generation X" spoke up through the author, which had lost any illusions or hopes. Instead of brilliant ideas, a personality can now produce only raw material for soup production... But, having lost everything, you may gain freedom. This novel not only undermines the basis. It will hit on the face with facts that are difficult to refute. And you will only have, as a looser boxer, to miss one blow after another. Without hope for a happy-end, but with the hope that in place of the destroyed civilization something more humane will be revived. That one will be able to laugh at death. See its terrible beauty. And understand the meaning of life."
