Douglas Coupland’s [wp] new book JPod is either out, or about to be out.* (What do you expect, research? Sheet if Fox News doesn’t have to do it why do I?) Which is exciting because with the exception of his previous book Eleanor Rigby which I’m midway through and his early book Life After God which is just too expensive for too little writing, I’ve loved everything he’s done.
Meanwhile if you’re not content to just read the books, and the blog posts about the books, then you might be excited to know that Coupland will be doing a reading interview thing later this month and you could go for frees! Now the catch is going for frees requires winning one of 150 tickets through the Ceeb [cbc]. Tickets are won in sets of twos, so if you win it’s only right that you take me, since I tipped you off.
* The book is in fact out in hardcover and has been since May.
I’ve forgotten my source now but Douglas Coupland will also be at the Robson & Howe Chapters on June 27 at 7 p.m., in case you can’t get free CBC ones.
yep the book is out. i’ve tried keeping my blog posts about it up to date but it’s just not happenin. i’m unsure how i feel about it yet - although i can’t seem to put it down so that may be a sign. i actually referenced it in a conversation with my husband the other day so that’s another sign…hm i’ve seen coupland at the planetarium (when eleanor rigby came out) and david suzuki at the CBC radio one thingy so the two combined: coupland + cbc should = good times.
