Douglas Coupland
The first new work of fiction since 2013 from one of Canada's most successful, idiosyncratic and world-defining writers, Douglas Coupland. He's called it Binge because it's impossible to listen to just one.
Imagine feeling 100% alive every moment of every minute of the day! Maybe that's how animals live. Or trees, even. I sometimes stare at the plastic bag tree visible from my apartment window and marvel that both it and I are equally alive and that there's no sliding scale of life. You're either alive, or you're not. Or you're dead or you're not.
Thirty years after Douglas Coupland broke the fiction mould and defined a generation with Generation X, he is back with Binge, 60 stories laced with his observational profundity about the way we live and his existential worry about how we should be living: the very things that have made him such an influential and bestselling writer. Not to mention that he can also be really funny.
Here the narrators vary from story to story as Doug catches what he calls "the voice of the people," inspired by the way we write about ourselves and our experiences in online forums. The characters, of course, are Doug's own: crackpots, cranks and sweetie-pies, dad dancers and perpetrators of carbecues. People in the grip of unconscionable urges; lonely people; dying people; silly people. If you love Doug's fiction, this collection is like rain on the desert.

A decade ago I left Canada and have lived in the US and the UK. Coupland seems to exist in the space where he was too successful too early to me claimed by the Can Con folk. Even with doing Canada house, Souvenirs, and some of the most Canadian art since Michael Snow's Geese at Eaton Centre.
What does this non-reviee, non-story, have to do with these 60 stories for your brain. Not much, but the book delivers on its promise -- you'll feel different. I felt at home. I felt at the Metro Toronto reference library or in Hamilton after 9/11 seeing Doug and thinking, yeah. I'm Canadian. I'm quite Canadian, despite recently becoming a naturalized US citizen.
Doug continues to be under-rated
