    douglas coupland's Interests
BooksBecause my writing comes from a different place (art school) than most other fiction, it tends to not fit into too many molds, and each book tends to be quite different than the one preceding it - which is, after a dozen books, my own pattern. "Life After God," say, is radically different from "jPod," and as a consequence I have frequently received polarized responses from readers who love/hate books in comparison with each other. The most fascinating reviews are from people who've read just two books, which seems to bring out their "Inner Simpsons Comic Book Man." If I had to read just two of my books, I'd read "Hey Nostradamus!" and "jPod."
b One regret I have is that I'll never be able to read my own books out of sequence. I wonder what it might be like to read "Miss Wyoming" and then "Generation X" and then "Eleanor Rigby" - I wonder what the books would feel like without the aid of chronology.

About me:
Sometimes I'll be introduced onstage at book events by a speaker saying, "Mr Coupland is German and once did an advertisement for Smirnoff vodka. He collects meteorites and lives in Scotland in a house with no furniture." Sometimes the bios are so weird that I'm frozen and have to take a second before I can walk. Actually, this sort of intro actually used to be much more common than it is now, so I think Google and the rest are getting far more accurate. Nonetheless, all sorts of mis-data still exists out there. Please consider the info presented here as fully accurate.

Liebe Freunde,

ich freue mich, mitteilen zu können, dass ich meine DVD "MUSIK UND MEHR" fertiggestellt habe, die nun in einer hübsch-bescheidenen, selbst gebastelten Verpackung daherkommt und einen Überblick über zwölf Jahre des grandiosen Scheiterns liefert: alle No-Budget-Videoclips, Konzertmitschnitte, Interviews und ein ominöser Kurzfilm und auf der CD dann noch einmal sechzehn LoFi-Perlen von 1997 bis heute. Damit nicht genug: Neben "MUSIK UND MEHR", welche man sich im SHOP meiner Homepage  WWW.DIAMETRAL-MUSIKUNDMEHR.DE bestellen kann, gibt es noch das kostenlose Album "ES IST VORBEI", welches man sich zum Beispiel HIER oder HIER (Last.Fm) downloaden kann, randvoll gefüllt mit Coverversionen, Alternativversionen, Remixen und anderen Raritäten!

Alles Weitere ist an den üblichen Stellen in Erfahrung zu bringen.

 

Dear friends!

My DVD / CD - project "MUSIK UND MEHR" is OUT NOW !!!

Hello.

Because there really isn't much else to say, is there? You don't know who-the-fuck I am. Doesn't matter.

Actually, I just got an idea!

Would you ever be interested in writing a collaboration with a teenager? 'Cause I know one.

It's about losing your job and life in one fell swoop. It's about facing an unknown future during an economic crisis. It's about a generation trapped between one that won't let go, and another nipping at their heels. It's about facing down your age, and place in the american dream...or is it a nightmare? It's about degrading from a target market to merely a target. It's about hiring freezes that feel like an ice age, high school reunions, lesbian strippers, copious amounts of marijuana. consumer guerillas, tattoos, corporate america, coffee, drinking, love, sex,a gold-toothed thug named mo-mo and the eternal quest to sleep in. It's about you. It's about me. It's about your best friend and worst enemy.

It's what you should be reading right now. It's called Rorschach's Ribs by Macus Eder, from vicious books. (www. viciousbooks. com)

Hi,

I have some wonderful news. I’ve just had a baby: LEAVING THE COMFORT ZONE, my first book of collected photographs, is published this week in Europe, followed by a release in the States a month later.

After fifteen years of constant traveling, searching and straying, I’ve found myself backstage with rock stars, lost in the middle of the desert and everywhere in between; everywhere but where the road ends. So, LEAVING THE COMFORT ZONE is about taking a moment to look back on this wonderful, weird and winding path I’ve been on.

I hope that you'll purchase a copy and enjoy it; an artist is nothing without a response, so I look forward to hearing from you. You can order the book on Amazon or on Artbook. com. And of course, if at all possible, please buy it at a nearby shop. Support your local bookstore!

Thank you,

Olaf

I heard they cancelled J-pod, they don't know a good show when they see one! Idiots, just want a steady dribble of Surviour and crap like that. No wonder I spend so much time on the computer. Arrggh! They're damaged and as slow as a 1999 modem! But hey, thanks for the creative work, it will be missed.
