人生不會一直是春天，
當幸福向你伸出雙手時，別猶豫，請緊緊抓牢它!
「鬼地方」奪去了他四年的記憶，
他，生命中充滿了混亂、迷惘、失控，
但他相信，
人生不會永遠墜落……
一部令人看了揪心、動心、暖心的黑色喜劇作品!
「我沒瘋，我說每朵烏雲都有銀色的鑲邊，為什麼你們就是看不見呢？ 」
派特‧皮伯斯在療養院的四年期間，對自己的「一線生機」理論深信不疑：他相信自己的人生是一部上帝製作的電影，而上帝派給他的任務就是把體態變得健美，並學會如何表達情感，這樣上帝就會確保他能享有快樂的結局——讓離異的妻子妮奇回到他的身邊來。
問題是，派特離開療養院回到老家後，感覺一切都不大對勁。沒人願意跟他談談妮奇，他深愛的美式足球隊伍費城老鷹隊又頻吃敗仗，讓父親心情鬱悶，喜怒無常。怪咖鄰居蒂芬妮一直跟蹤他跑步，加上，可怕的肯尼吉一直纏擾不休………
《派特的幸福劇本》是個奔放、喧鬧，動人心弦的故事，描述一個男人如何重拾記憶、接受傷痛的過往。馬修‧魁克帶我們走進派特的心靈，巧妙地透過派特扭曲卻又討人喜愛的觀點，將世界呈現在我們眼前。這部滑稽風趣、情感豐沛的小說，讓我們以耳目一新的方式面對憂鬱與愛！
A heartwarming debut novel, soon to be a major movie by David O. Russell
“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. Due in theaters this Thanksgiving, the movie features 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.”
