Maybe if he keeps writing, he'll bring it all together again! He might be having a moment like the Mozart in PDQ Bach who says "I was a child prodigy, but now I'm just a grown-up guy."Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374498643286099244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32919353.post-31257401524923157872009-10-01T10:39:59.828-04:002009-10-01T10:39:59.828-04:00I like what you say about Coupland.

There aren't many authors out there nowadays putting out a novel every year, year and a half.<br /><br />Would it be nice to see a really good novel from him? Yep. But I also kind of like the fact that we get so many chances to watch him spin a yarn.Remihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09625785161080840227noreply@blogger.com
