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.

Doug continues to be under-rated
Revisado: 01-13-24
This tiny jewel does not seem to have taken off. This audiobook does what few fiction audiobooks can add rather than detract from the book itself. My listen came either two or three years after my read. Pandemic time, my life, and all that have rung my bell like a bording by Bob Probert. I'm a young Gen X, which means Doug's book of the same name as the generation, washed into my cultural stew with Nirvana, BBSs, and enail.
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.

In The Unwinding, George Packer, author of The Assassins’ Gate: America in Iraq, tells the story of the United States over the past three decades in an utterly original way, with his characteristically sharp eye for detail and gift for weaving together complex narratives. The Unwinding portrays a superpower in danger of coming apart at the seams, its elites no longer elite, its institutions no longer working, its ordinary people left to improvise their own schemes for success and salvation.

bleak but beautiful

A glimpse into the declining and falling of the American Union of state and culture. The bitter seeds that have grown into Trumpism germinate in each chapter.
