Product Description
This book discusses Douglas Coupland¿¿¿s first four full-length novels: Generation X, Shampoo Planet, Microserfs, and Girlfriend in a Coma. In each of these novels, Coupland contemplates the fraught relationship between Generation X and postmodern irony. Coupland¿¿¿s characters struggle to find meaning and sincerity in a realm where advertising and consumerism are ubiquitous and nearly all aspects of life are commodified. The ultimate consequence of the alienation and apathy that results from such rampant materialism is the emergence of an idiom that privileges irony over affect. For Coupland, the prevalence of this irony is the most problematic aspect of postmodern society, and it is a force his characters grapple with and resist in each of his works. Considered individually, each of Coupland¿¿¿s first four novels portrays a different subset of Generation X and a different approach to irony. Considered together, they form a trajectory that culminates in an escape from, rather than an espousal of, irony. ... Read more

One hundred carefully chosen poems by an immense diversity of authors
Edited by CB Follett and Susan Terris, Runes: A Review of Poetry is the 2006 anthology of one hundred carefully chosen poems by an immense diversity of authors, all submitted in a competition open to the general public.

A handful of foreign-language poems are printed both in their original language and in English translation. This latest volume of Runes upholds the high quality standards evidenced by previous, award-winning volumes, and is enthusiastically recommended for poetry lovers everywhere. "Hearth": A bird has flown / down the chimney. / A redbird, a fistful / of molten life. // We used to make / space for such luck. / Roused / from coiled dreams // we'd beat the pans / till daybreak, / then raise a fable / from the common ash. ...
