Douglas Coupland (born December 30, 1961) is a Canadian novelist. His prolific fiction is complemented by recognised works in design and visual art arising from his early formal training. His first novel, the 1991 international bestseller Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture, introduced terms such as McJob and Generation X into the language. He has published twelve novels, seven nonfiction books, and numerous dramatic works and screenplays for film and television. Coupland is positioned in the literary tradition of Graham Greene, H.G. Wells and Charles Dickens: writers earning both popular success and critical esteem from novels which diachronically represent the cultural particularities of their age in a manner that reveals their universal significance.[1] The specific identity of Coupland's novels is their synthesis of the fragmentary expressions of postmodern religion, Web 2.0 technology, human sexuality, and pop culture into an avant-garde "Christian post-Christian" sensibility

From publisher

In 1980, Terry Fox set out to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research - despite having lost one leg to the disease. His goal was to raise $1 from every Canadian to help find a cure, and some combination of passion, idealism, and sheer guts led to the impossible notion that he would do this on one good leg and a prosthesis. Beginning in Newfoundland on April 12, 1980, he ran 26 miles each day for 143 consecutive days. But on September 1, the return of his cancer forced him to stop in Thunder Bay, Ontario. He died ten months later, but by then his dream had been realized: over $24 million had been collected in his name. Created to help celebrate the 25th anniversary of his journey, this biography combines over 80 new photographs from a previously unknown family collection with a very personal episodic narrative. The result brings a magic moment in Canadian history, and the young man who inspired it, freshly alive.

All royalties from the book will be donated to the Terry Fox Foundation to support cancer research.
