Coupland

I am back in the UK now. Descriptions and photos of Costa Rica will be posted sometime soon.

Anyone fancy seeing Douglas Coupland in London on October 9th?

Hmm, maybe, the new book sounds interesting from the description. Perhaps I should pick it up when it comes out (early October) and make a decision after reading it, probably a day or two before the event. Or is it likely to be too late for tickets by that point ? I'm trying to remember from the other stuff I've read whether he can really write girls, some of the authors I like can't do that, which is OK so long as they don't try (Greg Egan often doesn't even try to write humans).

Ah, Susan Colgate (Miss Wyoming) is a pretty decent character. That works. OK, so I think I will buy this book, and decide whether to go based on that unless you think tickets will sell out first.

Tickets might well sell out.. they have on some previous occasions. He's interesting to listen to, so seeing him doesn't need to be dependent on whether the book is good or not really.
