I recently finished reading Generation X by Douglas Coupland. The plot of the novel revolves around three characters who decided to depart away from their old lives, families and possessions to start a life away from the noise of the city. This is the very first book Douglas wrote and it was the novel that popularized the term “Generation X”. 

I enjoyed the book a lot, but I guess I’m biased because I am a sucker for everything Douglas has written. It’s just amazing how Douglas always had the same themes in all the books he wrote in the past 15 or so years.

I now have read every single “novel” Douglas has ever written in English. There is a short stories collection which I haven’t read yet though… and there is a book which he supposedly wrote in Japanese? 

Anyway, Douglas has written a new book called Generation A, which is is expected to be released in August/September 2009!
