'A high spirited moving study of loneliness and all its opposites.' Observer Books of the Year. 'A powerful and moving examination of a life lived negotiating loneliness.' Independent 'Eleanor Rigby is one of Coupland's subtlest indictments yet of Yankee-yuppie culture.' Daily Telegraph 'Bristles with acerbic observations of modern life.' Sunday Telegraph 'Funny, unexpected and fragile, here [Coupland is] the chronicler of our potentials rather than our losses.' Guardian Praise for Douglas Coupland's fiction: 'Douglas Coupland has surely reserved his place at the top table of North American fiction.' Independent on Sunday 'Nothing less than sublime' Time Out 'Far too wise to offer answers, but affirms that seeking them is a necessary part of our humanity.' Independent 'Coupland's last four novels are so good and so distinctive that they seem to me to mark a genuine seismic shift in the literary landscape.' Nicholas Blincoe, New Statesman 'Coupland has passion and pace, intelligence and wit. If you find anything about the way we live now disturbing and wrong, he is your man.' Daily Telegraph 'Coupland at his best can make a single phrase say more than many another writer's whole novel.' LRB
