Latest Coupland Books

Just read the latest Coupland Novel, The Gum Thief. Maybe I didn't get the humour, but to me it was a very boring and depressing reading experience; it took me forever to finish the (small) book. Especially the "Steve and Gloria" episodes were utterly horrid.

Maybe I had expected something comparable to his JPod, which i had finished a few weeks earlier, and which was quite good: funny, fast-paced, with interesting characters and unexpected plot, and some typographic gimmicks (to increase the page count, methinks).
