HTML: 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 memorizing its directives. They are ready for the reckoning. In this ingeniously comic work, the author's first novel in four years, Chuck Palahniuk 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 the new, disunited states. In this mind-blowing novel, Palahniukâ??an equal-opportunity offenderâ??fearlessly makes real the logical conclusion of every separatist fantasy, alternative fact, and conspiracy theory lurking in the American psyche Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

It's a serious thought experiment on a national divorce. And what's satire is up to you. The black ethnostate is curing cancer and creating a utopia, while the white ethnostate is regressing to feudalism. If you want to take that at face value? Then it's completely shielded itself from accusations of racism. But it it's satire it's story and dialogue are hilariously over the top. And it goes the other way too - with LGBT west coast in shambles as it tries to tackle its obvious fertility issues in draconian ways.
Granted, it's not for everyone, but if you get it, you get it. I absolutely loved this. (
