Soft Cover. ISBN: 031205436X Publisher's glossy wraps. Square 8vo. 183 pp. This is an unmarked, seemingly unread copy, tight and square. The wraps show only slight shelf-wear. NEAR FINE. "Generation X is Douglas Coupland's acclaimed salute to the generation born in the late 1950s and 1960s--a generation known vaguely up to then as 'twentysomething.' Andy, Claire, and Dag, each in their twenties, have quit 'pointless jobs done grudgingly to little applause' in their respective hometowns and cut themselves adrift on the California desert. In search of the drastic changes that will lend meaning to their lives, they've mired themselves in the detritus of American cultural memory. Refugees from history, the three develop 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 modern fables of love and death among the cosmetic surgery parlors and cocktail bars of Palm Springs, disturbingly funny tales of nuclear waste, historical overdosing, and mall culture. A dark snapshot of the trio's highly fortressed inner world quickly emerges--landscapes peopled with dead TV shows, 'Elvis moments, ' and semi-disposable Swedish furniture. And from these landscapes, deeper portraits emerge, those of fanatically independent individuals, pathologically ambivalent about the future and brimming with unsatisfied longings for permanence, for love, and for their own home. Andy, Dag, and Claire are underemployed, overeducated, intensely private, and unpredictable. Like the group they mirror, they have nowhere to assuage their fears, and no culture to replace their anomie. / Douglas Coupland was born on a Canadian Armed Forces Base in Baden-Söllingen, Germany in 1961. He is the author of Miss Wyoming, Generation X, All Families are Psychotic, and Girlfriend in a Coma, among others. He attended the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, the Hokkaido College of Art and Design, Instituto Europeo di Design, and the Japan/America Institute of Management Science." - Publisher.

Hardcover 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall This is the first edition of the author's first novel. "This is a novel of miracles--a striking, often deeply exciting story that eaves you stimulated and leaves you still pondering the destinies of the people you have met in its pages. In a small French town of the maritime Alps there was a monastery in which a lay monk, André, lived and accomplished the cures for which he had become world famous. Mr. Goldstons' narrative recounts the story of six pilgrims who came to Brother Andre in the hope that he might cure them. These six--a French Countess and her male companion; an American Priest; a young journalist and his wife, a stranger from an island in the South Pacific--came to San Sebastian in high hopes of discovering, through Brother Andre's gifts, a new future for themselves. But there was a seventh pilgrim in San Sebastian whose presence was to effect the destinies of all the others, and whose existence was to pose some of the absorbing questions raised in this novel. Mr. Goldston's gifts for dramatizing those values which mean most in life, his ability to maintain a sizzling air of excitement, and his genuine honesty and understanding of human aspirations, add up to a novel which will be well noted and long remembered." 345 pages. Robert C. Goldston was the author of a number of nonfiction books, including The Life and Death of Nazi Germany and The Death of Gandhi. This is a SCARCE TITLE that is not commonly found!
