Recensione:

Praise for Douglas Coupland

Girlfriend in a Coma

"To call Coupland the John Bunyan of his set would not be hyperbole. . . . Girlfriend approaches an eccentric jeremiad worthy of Kurt Vonnegut."        
-- The Washington Post

Polaroids from the Dead

"What is admirable . . . is that [Coupland] has chosen not to repeat the formula of his earlier commercial success. . . . He bravely commits himself to material that is rich and deeply felt."-- The New York Times

Microserfs

"The novel's real fun is in the frequent and rapidly fired pop-culture references that spin the '70s, '80s, and '90s . . . and Coupland uses them with relish." - Entertainment Weekly

Life After God

"A revelation . . . suffused with a mystery and regret unique in his work."--Will Blythe, Esquire

"Coupland has at his disposal a dazzling array of tools with which to shape the emotions of his readers: the whimsy of a latter-day Jack Kerouac, the irony of a young Kurt Vonnegut, the poignancy of early John Irving." -- John Tierney, Bookpage

Shampoo Planet

"Having called Coupland's first book a Catcher in the Rye for our time, I repeat myself.  Nobody has a better finger on the pulse of the  twenty-something generation."        -- Louise Bernikow, Cosmopolitan

Generation X

"A groundbreaking novel."  -- Los Angeles Times
