Souvenir of Canada 2

What a delight! Since leaving the Buffalo area last year I've been getting my Canada fixes vicariously, and this book did the trick nicely this month. Familiar, yet alien, alien, yet familiar. The idea of the "Canada House" is brilliant (and a brilliant piece of environmental art, to boot). Pick this one up if for no other reason than it's a cool coffeetable book that will confuse your less travelled friends. . .

This SECOND collection of imagery and musings from Famous Canadian Writer Douglas Coupland didn't always strike a chord with me. I'm from a different part of the country, with different history and experiences, of course.Yet enough was oddly, eerily familiar to convince me that there are few young writers better qualified to comment on the State of Our Nation than Coupland. Not as enjoyable as his fiction, but something fun to tide us fans over while we wait!I enjoyed this quirky collection, particularly Coupland's Canadian House installation art, more than the first. The images seemed fresher and his intelligent commentary was just as enjoyable. Keep 'em coming!

Quirky but real. As a Canadian from the same era I can totally relate to what he describes. A really great book to give to Americans to explain who we Canadian really are.

If you are Canadian and have an affinity for Douglas Coupland Part 1 and Part 2 are definitely worth taking a look at. Great commentary and some hilarious artwork that only a true Canadian would get.

Great product about Canadian History
