About This Book
A heartwarming debut novel, now a major movie by David O.
Russell--nominated for eight Academy Awards (including Best Picture),
four Golden Globes, and four Screen Actors Guild Awards!
"Aawww shucks!" NPR's Nancy Pearl said. ¡°I know that¡¯s hardly a usual
way to begin a book review, but it was my immediate response to
finishing Matthew Quick¡¯s heartwarming, humorous and soul-satisfying
first novel . . . This book makes me smile.¡±
Meet Pat Peoples. Pat has a theory: his life is a movie produced by God.
And his God-given mission is to become physically fit and emotionally
literate, whereupon God will ensure him a happy ending--the return of
his estranged wife, Nikki. (It might not come as a surprise to learn
that Pat has spent several years in a mental health facility.) The
problem is, Pat¡¯s now home, and everything feels off. No one will talk
to him about Nikki; his beloved Philadelphia Eagles keep losing; he¡¯s
being pursued by the deeply odd Tiffany; his new therapist seems to
recommend adultery as a form of therapy. Plus, he¡¯s being haunted by
Kenny G!
David O. Russell, the Oscar-nominated director of The Fighter, is
helming his own adaptation of The Silver Linings Playbook, featuring
Bradley Cooper (People magazine¡¯s Sexiest Man Alive) in the role of Pat,
alongside Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro, Julia Stiles, Chris Tucker,
and Jacki Weaver. As the award-winning novelist Justin Cronin put it:
¡°Tender, soulful, hilarious, and true, The Silver Linings Playbook is a
wonderful debut.¡±
