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 Contemporary American & Canadian WritersLiteraturemupLiterature: History & CriticismbicsscLITERARY CRITICISM / American / GeneralbisachLiterature: history & criticismthemaAccelerated Culture.Douglas Coupland.Generation X.JPod.Microserfs.Miss Wyoming.artifice.authenticity.global communication.poverty.LiteratureLiterature: History & CriticismLITERARY CRITICISM / American / GeneralLiterature: history & criticism813.54Tate Andrew1971-1477692UkMaJRUBOOK9910791949603321Douglas Coupland3694652UNINA
