Review of Generation X

 

From Quill & Quire

by Pat Kane

This first novel by Douglas Coupland is what Sartre might have penned hadhe hung out in a shopping mall instead of Cafe Deux Magots. An existential cri de coeur brayed by members of a middle-class, fin de siecle society (the new lost generation), this engagingly written book bursts with imagination and insight.
