Douglas Coupland

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, fromGeneration X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture(1991) toJPod(2006), a period in which he published ten novels and four significant volumes of non-fiction. 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.

Andrew Tate is Lecturer in English at Lancaster University.
