Life after God – Douglas Coupland
Life after God is a book that really touched my soul, I really enjoyed every little bit of this book, it is amazingly short and sweet and it hits all the right places succinctly. I am officially a fan of Douglas Coupland.
Life after God is not blasphemous the way the title makes it sound, or to say the least, not as much, the book is a collection of eight short stories of individuals who were raised without religion living in a fastforward society and then have reached a hopeless point in their life. The book explores how each of these characters tries to survive through their sate of despair while trying to understand the meaning of life, love, and hope.
The book is really short, less than 300 pages, with a quarter of each page filled with a small drawing illustrating the scene. I really enjoyed the scene-based storytelling narration. This story is a must-read for fans of contemporary literature.
5/5
PS. I bought the book from Amazon.co.uk and got it delivered by Al Manahil.
