Eleanor Rigby eBook

Canadian writer born on December 30, 1961, in Baden-Sollingen, Germany, on a NATO military base. He studied sculpture at the Emily Carr College of Art and Design in Vancouver and completed his training in Milan (Italy) and Sapporo (Japan), receiving two Canadian National Awards for Excellence in Industrial Design. He began writing articles for newspapers and magazines in the late 1980s and in 1991 published Generation X, his first novel. Both this and Microserfs (Inforescravos, 1995) were adopted as manifestos of a generation disillusioned with the inhuman pace of the working world, consumerism, mass culture, environmental destruction, and the general lack of meaning in their lives. In addition to these two novels, Coupland published Shampoo Planet (1992), Life After God (1994), Polaroids From the Dead (1996), Girlfriend in a Coma (1998), Lara's Book - Lara Croft and the Tomb Raider Phenomenon (1998), and Miss Wyoming (2000).
