Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

From the noted chronicler of alternative culture and bestselling author of "Microserfs, Generation X, " and "Polaroids from the Dead" comes a witty survey designed to look like an underground Japanese zine. Over 100 photos.

Synopsis:

Eclectic and provocative, this book, designed to resemble a Japanese underground zine, looks at Vancouver from inside out, from the Grouse Grind to the shimmering glass towers, First Nations to feng-shui. Douglas Coupland takes on monster houses, weather, Sandra Bernhard, Love Boats, SkyTrain, fleece, that endless rivalry with Seattle, and even includes a short story about living in a low-rent Granville hotel. Over 100 archival photographs, maps, and “beauty shots” add to the fun in this witty survey by the noted chronicler of alternative culture.
