    The US Authoritarian Regime Bans ‘Fight Club’ Book in Various States

    The author also said that he saw the irony in many Americans’ angry response to China’s actions, given that his books are banned in many locations across the U.S.

    “What I find really interesting is that my books are heavily banned throughout the U.S.,” he said. “The Texas prison system refuses to carry my books in their libraries. A lot of public schools and most private schools refuse to carry my books. But it’s only an issue once China changes the end of a movie? I’ve been putting up with book banning for a long time.”

    He also said that having his work revised in ways he can’t control is nothing new to him.

    “A lot of my overseas publishers have edited the novel so the novel ends the way the movie ends,” he said. “So I’ve been dealing with this kind of revision for like 25 years.”

    It still doesn’t make China’s censorship any less hilariously hamhanded.

      Are you under the impression that Tyler Durden is the hero of the book or something?
