Praise for Douglas Coupland Girlfriend in a Coma "To call Coupland the John Bunyan of his set would not be hyperbole. . . .Girlfriendapproaches an eccentric jeremiad worthy of Kurt Vonnegut."         --The Washington Post Polaroids from the Dead "What is admirable . . . is that [Coupland] has chosen not to repeat the formula of his earlier commercial success. . . . He bravely commits himself to material that is rich and deeply felt."--The New York Times Microserfs "The novel's real fun is in the frequent and rapidly fired pop-culture references that spin the '70s, '80s, and '90s . . . and Coupland uses them with relish." -Entertainment Weekly Life After God "A revelation . . . suffused with a mystery and regret unique in his work."--Will Blythe, Esquire "Coupland has at his disposal a dazzling array of tools with which to shape the emotions of his readers: the whimsy of a latter-day Jack Kerouac, the irony of a young Kurt Vonnegut, the poignancy of early John Irving." -- John Tierney,Bookpage Shampoo Planet "Having called Coupland's first book aCatcher in the Ryefor our time, I repeat myself.  Nobody has a better finger on the pulse of the  twenty-something generation."        -- Louise Bernikow,Cosmopolitan Generation X "A groundbreaking novel."  --Los Angeles Times, Praise for Douglas Coupland Girlfriend in a Coma "To call Coupland the John Bunyan of his set would not be hyperbole. . . .

Synopsis
From the bestselling author ofGeneration XandMicroserfs, a smart, funny, fast-paced mystery with a heartfelt American romance at its core. Susan is a former child-beauty-pageant contender. John is a hard-living movie producer. She walks away from a plane crash without so much as a scratch. He comes away from a near-death experience with a unique, vivid plan. Susan refuses to spend one more day peddling herself for cheesy TV sitcom parts and takes advantage of a very weird situation to disappear. John turns his back on a hedonistic life making blockbuster action flicks. Shedding their self-made identities, each sets out on an uncharted course across the Gap-clogged, strip-mall landscape of California, searching for the thing--Love--that neither has ever really known, but that they now think they just might, actually, desperately want. Assisting Susan and John are a blackmailing pageant mom, a pair of suburban eggheads, a rust-belt refugee, and a salad bar of other twentieth-century Americans who all share the dream of one day taking center stage. InMiss Wyoming, Douglas Coupland has combined the literary and the popular in a sparkling and witty caper that quietly resonates into the eternal.
