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 410 0$aContemporary American & Canadian Writers 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a813.54 700 $aTate$b Andrew$f1971-$0903395 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465641003321 996 $aDouglas Coupland$92019564 997 $aUNINA
