John Dugdale
Carry on Coupland
Recent offerings from Douglas Coupland have taken on such serious themes as the breakdown of the family (All Families Are Psychotic) and high-school shootings (Hey, Nostradamus!), convincingly showing that there’s more to the Canadian writer than spotting social trends and recording the speech patterns and pop-culture obsessions of Generation X. In JPod, however, he takes a break from this new-found earnestness, producing a novel that’s almost free of darkness.
