Before this year, author Chuck Palahniuk's most recent book was 2014’s Beautiful You, which featured a number of names thanked in the acknowledgments, including Kevin Sharp of Palo Alto, CA. The author's much anticipated new novel,
Adjustment Day, released on May 1, 2018.
Adjustment Day's blurb reads as follows: People pass the word only to those they trust
most: Adjustment Day is coming. They’ve been reading a mysterious book and
memorizing its directives. They are ready for the reckoning.
Palahniuk’s
best known work, 1996’s Fight Club, won both the 1997 Pacific Northwest
Booksellers Association Award and the Oregon Book Award for best novel. Director
David Fincher helmed a film adaptation in 1999, starring Brad Pitt, Edward
Norton, and Helena Bonham Carter, and released by 20th Century Fox.
Palahniuk
followed Fight Club with the books Survivor, Invisible Monsters, Haunted, Choke (film
adaptation released in 2008), and Lullaby (also a Pacific Northwest
Booksellers Association Award winner and currently in pre-production as an
independent film). Beautiful You is about Penny Harrigan, an employee of a
Manhattan law firm, who becomes the object of affection for mysterious tech
billionaire C. Linus Maxwell. The novel received mixed reviews.
Kevin
Sharp’s name appeared in the Beautiful You acknowledgments due to his
contribution to the 2014 horror thriller Starry Eyes, directed by Dennis Widmeyer, founder
of the website chuckpalahniuk [dot] net.
