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.”
