imagine A Sour Prufrock On Prozac, Measuring Out His 30-odd Years In Teaspoon-sized Stories. This Is The Monotonic Voice Brooding Over Life After God, A Book Of Stories By Douglas Coupland. Though Each Of These Very Short Tales Has Its Own Narrator, The Voice Never Really Varies: It Drones Where It Might Delve, It Skims Where It Might Seduce, It Hoards Where It Might Offer Sustenance. The Range Of Character And Emotion Is So Slight As To Be Undetectable. Presented With Such An Unmoving Feast, A Reader Might Starve To Death....mr. Coupland's Real Storytelling May Begin When He Can Wean Himself From His Willful Attachment To The Wasteland And To The Easy Safety Of Ennui. -- New York Times
