This book is the first full-length study of Douglas Coupland, one
of the twenty-first century's most innovative and influential
novelists. The study explores the prolific first decade and a half
of Coupland's career, from Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated
Culture (1991) to JPod (2006), a period in which he published ten
novels and four significant volumes of non-fiction. Emerging in the
last decade of the twentieth century - amidst the absurd
contradictions of instantaneous global communication and acute
poverty - Coupland's novels, short stories, essays and visual art
have intervened in specifically contemporary debates regarding
authenticity, artifice and art. This book explores Coupland's
response, in ground-breaking novels such as Microserfs, Girlfriend
in a Coma and Miss Wyoming, to some of the most pressing issues of
our times. Designed for students, researchers and general readers
alike, the study is structured around thematically focused chapters
that consider Coupland's engagement with narrative, consumer
culture, space, religion and ideas of the future. -- .
