I love Douglas Coupland's work. I think with this book I have now read all his published fiction. He still has several non-fiction works I need to check out.
For me, this didn't rank up with my favorite works of his. It was just a bit too over the top. Too absurd. Almost like Coupland was trying too hard to be absurd. But a funny thing happened. By the end, I was drawn into the misadventures of the Drummond family. All of the sudden a poignant complexity revealed itself. When I was finished, I took a deep breath and nodded my head. This was a nice read. Maybe not one of his classics, but a very fine way to spend time reading.
