Book description
First edition copies
The first edition print of the books included a light brown color to the font, and as usual with Palahniuk's releases, a heavily themed jacket and inside cover for the book. Inside and on the book liner were various sexual poses outlined in dark brown against a lighter brown.
Plot
Film
A film version was in production starring Tom Sizemore, to be written and directed by Golan Ramras and Fabien Martorell, and to be produced by Immortal Transmedia.[1][2] Although many other Palahniuk films have been put in production, this one has seen more light than the others.[3] The film version of the novel would be the third book by Palahniuk to be made into a film after Fight Club and Choke.[4] At one point, it was reported that Daryl Hannah and Thora Birch were also attached to the project and later the claims were dismissed by Hannah and Birch, while Sizemore was reportedly still interested in the project.[5]
Background
- The story was originally inspired by Annabel Chong, who set the record for engaging in 251 sex acts with around 70 men in 10 hours.[6]
- The book release around Mother's Day is intentional, due to one of the subplots of the novel involving a mother-child relationship.
