Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture

Coupland, Douglas. Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture, New York: St. Martin's Press,1991

Told from multiple perspectives Generation X: tales for an accelerated culture follows three friends Dag, Claire and Andy as they face dilemmas pertaining to being part of the post baby boomer generation.

Satircal in nature Coupland successfully lampoons absurdities of the 1990s such as the Mcjob revolution.

A novel pumped with anarchy with characters that refuse to grow and give to monotony.

Hilarious and well structured Generation X: tales for an accelerated culture is a good read.
