Ask Douglas Coupland

"Hi, I'm Douglas Coupland, a novelist who also works in visual arts and theatre. My most famous books are Generation X, Microserfs and the one where nothing much happens apart from talking. I live and work in Vancouver, Canada. My favourite colour is green."
Dear Douglas
I think I'm in love with this girl. I really want to tell her how I feel. She's moving away soon and I might never see her again; and I know I'll regret it for ever if I don't - yet I don't want to mess up our friendship.
Loser, Hunter's Bar.
This sounds like one of the characters from my book, Friday I'm In Love. I tried to write a sort of existential answer to the problems of love, lust and religion in Vancouver the early part of the 21st century. It's very good.
Dear Douglas
I recently found out that I have a short time to live. I have just got married and I don't know how to tell my wife; it will destroy her. I know I have to tell her sooner or later. What should I do?
Worried, Milton Keynes
This sounds like one of the characters from my book, Most People Are Liars. It's obstensibly about this loosely connected group of dysfuctional families growing up in and around Vancouver in the 1980s, but really it's about alienation.
Dear Douglas
I have recently married a man who is 15 years my junior. We are deeply in love but my son from my first marriage disapproves. I am not going to leave my husband, but how can I show my son that this is what I want?
Bearded, Wales
This sounds like one of the characters from my book, Y-Box. It's about a group of video games publishers who communicate only by text message. It's also about the post-modern alienation of society. It's set in Vancouver. It's got a bit where someone thinks there's a ghost, but it's not, he's just on drugs. It's printed on green paper and you have to read it backwards.
