Personal and unexpectedly impassioned. Words and images fashioned by Douglas Coupland into a sparkling Canadian souvenir. Douglas Coupland offers new ways of seeing and experiencing Canada—looking at how it feels to be a Canadian right now and speculating what it might feel like to be a Canadian in the future. From our collective memories, he locates objects like stubbie beer bottles and ookpiks, Kraft dinner and maple walnut ice cream. And with the same unique sensibility, he considers the flq crisis, our relationship with the United States, medicare and the landscape itself. In the section humbly titled “Cheese,” he writes: “When you assemble them together, foods that feel intuitively Canadian look more like camping trip provisions than actual groceries…Canada is a cold and northern country…from a biological standpoint, it is imperative that Canadians stockpile concentrated forms of sugars, carbohydrates, fats and salt.” The 50 personal categories of the 30,000-word text are arranged alphabetically and matched with 100 illustrations 50 in colour—new luscious photos taken by Coupland himself, images of Canadian ephemera and icons, historical photos and pictures from other quite startling sources. Reader Reviews Average Reader Review: Number of Reviews: 2 1. Excellent! But... Reviewer: Paula from Hawkesbury, On. (kirkpc1702@yahoo.com) Date: 10/1/2002 10:45:36 PM If only Coupland would have had his book translated en francais,then my Christmas shopping for the other half of the family would be done. 2. My Christmas shopping is done in July!! Reviewer: Michele from Thorold Date: 7/26/2002 7:42:16 PM Coupland offers up an insightful and entertaining vision of Canada which provides much welcomed relief from the depressive lot bemoaning our lack of identity in the media. Although I don't agree with every point, that is irrelevant to the success of this project. Finally, someone gets it with (dare I say it?) Canadian style.
