A review by boygirlparty
The Gum Thief by Douglas Coupland
2.0
off to a rocky beginning, but i quickly became adapted to the format. two complaints:
1. "glove pond" drove me nuts; coupland hacked "who's afraid of virginia woolf?" and used it as filler for his book, practically with annotations.
2. no girl of any age greater than 14 is that into johnny depp.
the short essays written from the perspective of bread being buttered were brilliant.
there is one point in the book where you're reading a story about a guy writing a story about a guy writing a story about a guy writing a story. ok ok ok, enough with the hall of mirrors!
