Adjustment Day

The author of Fight Club takes America beyond our darkest dreams in this timely satire. People pass the word only to those they trust most: Adjustment Day is coming. They ve been reading a mysterious blue-black book and memorising its directives. They are ready for the reckoning. In this ingeniously comic work, Chuck Palahniuk s first novel in four years, he does what he does best: skewer the absurdities in our society. Smug, geriatric politicians hatch a nasty fate for the burgeoning population of young males; working-class men dream of burying the elites; and professors propound theories that offer students only the bleakest future. When it arrives, Adjustment Day inaugurates a new, disunited states. > The Fight Club author is on a mission to offend everyone with his new satire > about America his humour expresses a genuine anger, and that gives his book a > crackling energy This is one of those books that is best enjoyed in a bad > mood, when you re thinking that a good cull is really what the human race > needs, although even when feeling quite sunny, I found the glee Palahniuk > takes in his Book of Revelation-esque scenario rather infectious. - Jake > Kerridge, Daily Telegraph
