Ze Frank controversy[edit]

Coupland has been accused of ripping off the key "earth sandwich" idea in this novel from a guy called Ze Frank - see http://www.zefrank.com/zesblog/archives/2009/09/douglad_couplan.html for details. The article mentions Ze Frank but not that Coupland used the idea without attribution. Should this be added? I think so but I thought I'd raise it for discussion first.

Reviews[edit]

couple of reviews that someone may want to add to the main article:

Another at http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/reviews/generation-a-by-douglas-coupland-1792703.html - could maybe use some links to US reviews too... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Architypist (talk • contribs) 08:22, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Although this page was previously deleted (as a non-neologism I), as a forthcoming new novel (and one presumably connected to his first novel) I feel it may merit a page of its own, as facts about it become known, and certainly after publication.

Inaccurate Portrayal of Tourette Syndrome[edit]

The portrayal of tourette syndrome in this novel is much, much closer to the stereotype of the disorder (uncontrollable swearing) than the reality (involuntary movements and sounds, sometimes OCD or ADHD). Should this inaccuracy be mentioned? I think it would be helpful to mention it, even just briefly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.146.211.100 (talk) 06:13, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
