I have yet to read a single Douglas Coupland novel. Which one should I start with to get maximal wowage?
Would you recommend it? Lately I've gotten into the habit of alternating between "quality literature" (most recently, Percival Everett's James) and scifi (finished Banks' Hydrogen Sonata this morning). I'm due for something literary again. Awesome to hear from you btw. Hope you're keeping well.
I would. It's quick and it establishes the fundamental character arc and background of everyone my age. It is fundamentally a book of disaffected ennui and I think it's useful to see that every generation goes through disaffected ennui in their 20s. The complaints of GenX aren't the complaints of Millennials aren't the complaints of GenZ but they rhyme. They don't fuckin' rhyme at all with the 'boomers.
"Hey Nostradamus" is the only one if his I've read - kleinbl00 is the one to ask, I think he's read most of them
