Though his bestselling novels are in print in some 30 countries around the world, Coupland's accomplishments as a visual artist are less well-known. This book, which features his evocative still lifes and found objects, speaks to this notable parallel career. Coupland writes about Canada in a way no one else has - with prescient observations, and the uncanny ability to explain a culture by sorting through its detritus. Featuring contemporary design and 50 colour photos, Souvenir of Canada is a smart and darkly whimsical gift book; its complex nostalgia will resonate with anyone who has traveled to, or lived in, Canada.
