The author of Fight Club takes America beyond our darkest dreams in this timely satire
Chuck Palahniuk is the bestselling author of fifteen fictional works, including Fight Club, Invisible Monsters, Survivor, Choke, Lullaby, Diary, Haunted, Rant, Pygmy, Tell-All, Damned, Doomed, Beautiful You, and most recently Make Something Up. He lives in the Pacific Northwest.
His best book in years… Mashing up the current febrile mood in
America and the destructive impulses of Fight Club, Adjustment Day…
skewers every tribe in the identity politics rainbow… Welcome back,
Chuck.
*Irish Independent*
An heir to Chuck Palahniuk's most famous novel, Fight Club,
Adjustment Day is one of the most ingeniously fucked-up and
enticingly original novels to be published this year... Think Will
Self, George Orwell, Stephen King and William Burroughs mixed up in
a Molotov cocktail.

There is more than a mere whiff of Nineteen Eighty-Four and The
Purge in Palahniuk’s latest novel, and it could be read as a
treatise on contemporary America.
*Irish Times*
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.
*Daily Telegraph*
Timely… with crosshairs fixed on the absurdity of both sides of the
political divide. Set in contemporary America, the novel seizes
hold of dark separatist ideas and drags them to their ultimate
conclusion.
*iNews*
The author of Fight Club comes out swinging with a piece of
political satire that aims at the heart of contemporary
America.
