Polaroids From The Dead

Harper Collins

The first part of this book of short fiction and non-fiction is a collection of pieces about deadheads and Dead shows.

Douglas Coupland takes his sparkling literary talent in a new direction with this crackling collection of takes on life and death in North America - from his sweeping portrait of Grateful Dead culture to the deaths of Kurt Cobain, Marilyn Monroe and the middle class. For years, Coupland's razor-sharp insights into what it means to be human in an age of technology have garnered the highest praise from fans and critics alike. At last, Coupland has assembled a wide variety of stories and personal 'postcards' about pivotal people and places that have defined our modern lives.
