While most publications about Coupland have focussed on his fiction, this book notably gives space and attention also to his significant non-fiction and artistic production. It provides students, scholars, and fans of Douglas Coupland alike with rigorous yet accessible analyses of Coupland's major works. The book is divided into sections which look at: Coupland's literary production in its broader literary context; the evolution of Coupland's artistic production; Coupland's engagement with our extreme present; the spiritual dimension of Coupland's works; and their temporal and spatial politics. The book closes on an interview with Coupland, as well as an exclusive contribution produced by Coupland himself for the collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diletta de Cristofaro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350459410\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350459410\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/29\/2027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.00d","brand":"Diletta de Cristofaro","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48487418691839,"sku":"9781350459410","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0ac79fc6-3ee3-455a-be88-82f10bc151a7.jpg?v=1778060387","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/douglas-couplands-literature-and-art-diletta-de-cristofaro-9781350459410","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
