Alisa Smith

Repphun, Eric. (2009). The Crow Was Standing on the Sky: Exploring the Secret Worlds of Douglas Coupland. Literature & Aesthetics. 19 (2) p.217-235.

Repphun discusses the importance of Coupland in the contemporary religious landscape of the Western world. He argues that Coupland has affected people’s life “outside the pages of his novels”. He sees Coupland’s work as being useful in studying people’s relationship with religion in the contemporary world in a culture informed by Judeo-Christian inheritance. This article is useful because Repphun studies the influence of Copeland’s work on contemporary culture.

Tate, Andrew. (2009). Douglas Coupland. Literature and Theology. 23 (2) p. 242-245.

Tate discusses a reading of Douglas Coupland’s 2000 novel Miss Wyoming. This article explores his references to Generation X, and Jack Kerouac as a representative of the Beat Generation. He argues that the novel portrays communicative and emotional immaturity especially in relation to ideas of postmodernism and irony. This article will be useful because it explores Douglas Coupland famous novels.

Jensen, Mikkel. (2011) Miss(ed) Generation: Douglas Coupland’s Miss Wyoming. Culture Unbound. 3. P. 455–474.

Jensen argues that Coupland provided awareness of discourses surrounded art authenticity and spirituality. He explores how Coupland shows that these discourses emerge from Western postmodern life. The article is useful because he engages with “the first decade and a half of work by one of the most innovative and influential novelists of the twenty-first century”.

He states that Coupland’s latest novel abandons “his macropolitical revolutionary experiment in favour of interpersonal micropolitics”.

Pelevin criticized the worship of self-image in the interstitial culture of Russia. The article asserts that “the authors failed to form a complete dialectics of emptiness”. The article could be useful because it tackles an important concept that Coupland explores.
