Polaroids from the Dead - Douglas Coupland

this is my must read.
oh. my. goodness.
I cant explain it.. its not a story.. but there are stories in it.. the first half is about dead heads and the dead shows.. and different people going to them and their outlooks on life..... and then the second half is about brentwood, a celebrity 'community' where marilyn monroe was killed and the oj simpson crimes took place(ten mins away from each other)... its about this celebrity neighbourhood, and fame and what it does to people, post fame, etc.....
I just cant believe how well written this book was, AND how amazing the subject matter is...
RUN to your library people... and just read it... it's just... AH! lol I couldn't put it down.
the parts about marilyn made me feel sick, like, queasy.. but thinking of her in death always does....
THIS is my dying book.

 

why has nobody read this? the cover picture of sharon tate should draw people in without even knowing what the book is about....lol

 

I've wanted to read it. My library doesn't have it, though. Ehh.

 

i'll have to check it out.....

 

i adore douglas coupland. havent read this one yet but i have wanted to for a while!! glad you enjoyed it!!
