Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Renown writer and artist Douglas Coupland's valentine to Canada looks at how it feels to be a Canadian now and imagines what it might feel like to be a Canadian in the future. From collective memories, Coupland locates objects like stubbie beer bottles and ookpiks, Kraft dinner and maple walnut ice cream. With the same witty sensibility, he considers significant events and relevant issues, like Canada's relationship with the United States, Medicare, and the landscape itself in this colorful, lively mix of image and text. Book News Annotation:An avant garde artist/novelist explores what it means to be a Canuck
(not a rude term according to him) in this quirky visual tour of
iconic symbols of the US-alternative land across the border. The
loosely alphabetically-arranged sections include commentary on such
topics as: Canadian cuisine (such as it is); Inuksuit (a form of
native communication via rocks), and stubbies (pre-1980 beer
bottles--an image of which graces the cover).
