«Generación X» is the novel by Douglas Coupland, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (268 pages, in Spanish).
Three twenty-somethings, Dag, Claire and Andy, live on the margins in a Californian desert city. They renounce success, consumption and competition, and respond to the emptiness of their era by telling each other funny and hopeless stories. The novel reflects the malaise of a generation without illusions, which makes indefinition its hallmark.
