Douglas Coupland - Génération X
















This is a rather strange book, with the friendship between Andrew, Dag and Claire, as a background. these three people seem to have the whole rest of the world inflicted upon them, while still managing to live life their own way, or more or less so... It mainly consists of a multitude of reflexions and comments on this socalled “Generation X” and everything related to it. The story benefits from a good narration, which has little to do with actual facts but saves us from what could otherwise have been a somewhat tedious read. Finally we are left with a good novel, whose chapters can each be read for itself and suitable for all generations.
