Thirty years after Douglas Coupland broke the fiction mould and defined a generation with Generation X, he is back with Binge, 60 stories laced with his observational profundity about the way we live and his existential worry about how we should be living: the very things that have made him such an influential and bestselling writer. Inspired by the way we write about ourselves and our experiences in online forums, the characters in Binge are crackpots, cranks and sweetie-pies, they are people in the grip of unconscionable urges; lonely people; dying people; silly people.
