i think coupland has a very condescending method of storytelling - like he's already heard every story in the world,
so you may as well just accept his literary superiority.
but he's tame.
he's tame and formulaic.
he's written himself into a style, and that, i think, is dangerous.
the second your public can depend on your writing, then it's all out the window,
like a horror movie with "5 seconds til the scary bit" subtitles.
who'd go to a safe circus?
i bet you anything you like he never surprises himself any more.
he's just this guy with a pen, and one eye on the television.
