The Silver Linings Playbook author Matthew Quick (pictured, via) has landed a two-book deal with HarperCollins.
Quick’s next novel, entitled The Good Luck of Right Now, is scheduled for release in spring 2014. Deadline reports that DreamWorks has already snatched up the film rights. The film adaptation of The Silver Linings Playbook has earned eight Oscar nominations.
The new book stars a character named Bartholomew Neil. According to Entertainment Weekly, Sterling Lord Literistic, Inc. literary agent Douglas Stewart described the story as “a pilgrimage of sorts, [where Neil is] headed to Canada with his new librarian girl-crush, her foul-mouthed but loving brother, and the local priest who has just been kicked out of his parish.” (via Philly.com)

I wish I could sing. I feel like putting on a show and belting out tune after tune, making the audience roar with recognition of a talent so great that I am undeniably The Voice of a Generation. Sitting here at my desk, my closing number just came to me, the words came to me as if I had written them myself and I can almost feel the spotlight shining down on me, center stage, a drink in hand, a stool, a microphone stand, and then I look out across the room and I tell my beloved fans about what it feels like to be me, to be human, to want it all, to have it all and then to feel as if the world has bottomed out... I say to them, "Yeah Baby. That's Life."
And then I sing it. Yeah baby. I sing it.
Remember Richard Gere's iconic moment in AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN? When his commanding officer demands he quit the officer's training program? When Richard Gere sobs "I won't quit! I got no where else to go. I got no where else to go."
That's me. I won't quit This Writing Life. Cos I got no where else to go.
I got no where else to go.
Dear lord that was one hell of a great movie. Such a fairy tale but I still believe...I am SO in the mood to be swept off my feet by a knight in shining armor. Save me from the way things are. I won't quit. That's life. I'll pick myself up and get back in the race. "Way to go, Paula! Way to go!"
