Souvenir of Canada Summary

Souvenir of Canada by Douglas Coupland

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.

Souvenir of Canada Reviews

This may be the best work ever produced by Canada's greatest artist/writer. Mr. Coupland is the master of the apercu, but his art - in particular, the still lifes he has assembled here for his tribute to the Canada he grew up in - encompasses as much as his words." - Globe and Mail "The book is at once reminiscent of Coupland's early work, the author as adroit with a catchy moniker now as he was then, though the book is also something else: The author ... has matured, become tender, even." - National Post
