Praise for Generation A:

‘With this exceptional sequel to Generation X, Douglas Coupland may be one of the smartest, wittiest writers around…He is a terrifically good writer…Coupland scatters his smartly satirical observations throughout…This is a clever, brilliant book - and it’s loads better than Generation X…funny and profound’ - Esquire

‘Eighteen years on from Generation X, Coupland still satirises pop culture better than anyone. This globe-spanning tale, set in the near future, is masterfully told and often hilarious’ - GQ

‘Highly recommended. Like Murakami in thriller-trope mode. Go for it’ - William Gibson

‘Possibly the most gifted exegete of North American mass culture writing today’ - Observer

‘Douglas Coupland has surely reserved his place at the top table of North American fiction’ - Independent on Sunday

‘He is a brilliant social commentator and a wit of our times’ - Times Literary Supplement

‘We should really pay attention to Coupland. His eye is so firmly on the ball he’s virtually clairvoyant’ - Guardian
