Merci Christophe pour l'info

extrait :
"It was the 1969 feature film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid that crystallised the dream of a career in cinema for the young David Fincher. 'I saw a documentary on the making of Butch Cassidy and I saw it when I was about eight and a half. It had never occurred to me before then that movies weren't made in real time, that there was a real job to make a movie. It just seemed to me that if it took place over three days, it took three days to shoot. The documentary that I saw was narrated by the director, George Roy Hill - I think it's actually on the DVD of the 25th anniversary edition of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - and it just was kind of amusing as he talked about the different processes. He was talking about this behind the scenes footage and talking about why he chose the people and that they had to shoot stuff in slow motion to make the explosion look bigger, and all these things that I had just never thought about. The documentary talked you through the whole thing, and I was kind of like, "Wow! These are adults building full-scale balsa-wood trains, just to blow them up! How do you get involved in that?" From that point on I was thinking, "That would be a good job."'

Trois ans après sa parution aux États-Unis, voici enfin traduit l'incroyable premier roman de Chuck Palahniuk qui a donné lieu au film très controversé Fight Club, réalisé par David Fincher, avec Brad Pitt, Edward Norton et Helena Bonham Carter. Le livre est bien plus dérangeant, plus cynique, plus déjanté que le film. Il y a du Bret Easton Ellis d'American Psycho et quelque chose de pire dans ce récit de l'impasse, dans cette dénonciation ultime d'un monde perdu faute de révolution. Plus qu'un livre, c'est une expérience. Et déjà un titre culte qui a reçu le prix de la Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association en 1996.--

L'auteur vu par l'editeur
Chuck Palahniuk, qui vit actuellement à Portland, est diplômé de l'Université de l'Oregon. Son premier roman, Fight Club, a fait l'effet d'une bombe à sa publication en 1996. Survivant et Monstres invisibles, tous deux disponibles aux Éditions Gallimard, ont depuis confirmé l'originalité de son talent.

Quatrième de couverture
Laisse-moi te parler de Tyler. Tyler dit : les choses que tu possèdes finissent toujours par te posséder. C'est seulement après avoir tout perdu que tu es libre de faire ce dont tu as envie. Le Fight Club t'offre cette liberté. Première règle du Fight Club : Tu ne parles pas du Fight Club. Deuxième règle du Fight Club : Tu ne parles bas du Fight Club. Tyler dit que chercher à s'améliorer, c'est rien que de la branlette. Tyler dit que l'autodestruction est sans doute la réponse. Métaphore acide et jubilatoire d'un monde au bord du chaos, perdu faute de révolution, Fight Club a été porté à l'écran en 1999 par David Fincher, le réalisateur de Seven et Alien 3. Le DVD du film est édité par Fox Pathé Europa.
