Written by the Brit Nick Hornby. Be hard pressed to find any Clerks comparisons in the novel.
Aside: Bit of contention about the film is that many (myself included) consider the book to be distinctly British in tone and feel, yet Cusack and company decided to Americanize it by placing it in Chicago. Perhaps some Clerks-ness came over in the translation? Dunno, haven't seen it.

: D.
