About this product

Product Information

Generation X is Douglas Coupland's classic novel about the generation born from 1960 to 1978 --a generation known until then simply as twenty somethings. Andy, Claire, and Dag, each in their twenties, have quit pointless jobs in their respective hometowns to find better meaning in life. Adrift in the California desert, the trio develops an ascetic regime of story-telling, boozing, and working McJobs--"low-pay, low-prestige, low-benefit, no-future jobs in the service industry." They create their own modern fables of love and death among the cosmetic surgery parlors and cocktail bars of Palm Springs as well as disturbingly funny tales of nuclear waste, historical overdosing, and mall culture. A dark snapshot of the trio's highly fortressed inner world quickly emerges--peeling back the layers on their fanatical individualism, pathological ambivalence about the future, and unsatisfied longing for permanence, love, and their own home. Andy, Dag, and Claire are underemployed, overeducated, intensely private, and unpredictable. They have nowhere to assuage their fears, and no culture to replace their anomie.

    Zany feel good comedy.

    I strongly recommend this novel to free spirits of all ages. A snapshot of youth searching zen. The drama/comedy touches this trio as they share experiences of their early twenties throughout North America and land in sunny Palm Springs. Though the book was written circa 1990, the content has come to life and reverbates with currents. I do warn you that this light hearted fiction will leave you wondering who are your friends and family and wonder what they really mean to you. As Bowie said it "Turn and face the stranges ch-ch-changes".
