Much Canada Day fun yesterday. Spent the afternoon lounging by a pool and drinking myself into a stupor before heading downtown for the fireworks and some bar-hopping. It rained pretty hard on the way back, though, so I came home looking like a drowned rat. Speaking of Canadiana, I thought I'd recommend Vancouver native Douglas Coupland's novel, Hey Nostradamus! I've been wanting to read a Coupland novel for ages and finally got around to it when I saw this book and Microserfs over at BookCloseouts. This novel centers around a high school shooting in 1988 Vancouver and is told in four parts, each centering around a different character in a different year. Part One follows Cheryl in 1988, who narrates the recent events of her life that precede the shooting, in which she is killed. Part Two follows Jason, Cheryl's husband, eleven years after the shooting. Three years after that we look at Heather, the woman who's fallen in love with Jason. And, finally, in 2004, we follow Reg, Jason's ultra-religious father as he reflects on his life. This is an absolutely fabulous novel. Coupland does a fantastic job with his characters and also manages to tackle a lot of interesting religious novels. And, hey, you can even pick up a hardcover copy for $2.
