«Generación X» is the novel by Douglas Coupland, published by Ediciones B in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Dag, Andy and Claire, three thirty-somethings who settle in the Californian desert to escape conventional life. Between precarious jobs and conversations full of irony, they reflect on consumerism, the emptiness of expectations, pop culture and a generation that grew up with technology and without great ideals.
Translation by Mariano Antolín Rato. Original title: «Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture» (1991).
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in the generational portrait of the nineties and in the work of Douglas Coupland.
