Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture by Douglas Coupland
4.0
"Now-Denial : To tell oneself that the only time worth living is in the past and that the only time that may ever be interesting again is the future."
Three friends in their early thirties have decided not to "indulge" in the construct society presses on them and live the alternative life : away from the yuppies and the privileged. They share their views on life with each other through telling all kinds of stories with one common theme ; the desperation of a generation with a set-back that they can't ever make up for.
Quite different from your average novel but it rather suits the subject. The ironic terms used to bring the stories closer to the reader were pretty hilarious and painfully true, at times. An enjoyable read!
