Résumé

Présentation de l'éditeur Janet is an elegant American woman in her sixties whose daughter, Sarah, is the star of the latest Nasa shuttle mission. Janet has three children in all: Sarah, Wade, and Bryan; and a greying ex-husband, Ted. At least, that's the family at a glance; a healthy example of the all-American average. But look again and you'll find that Janet, Wade and Julie all have AIDS; that Bryan is a suicidal manic-depressive whose girlfriend is pregnant, and that Wade isn't keen to talk to his father after Ted shot him in the stomach a while back. Well, Wade had picked up Ted's mistress in a bar, after all...Needless to say, nobody's looking forward to getting together to see Sarah off into space at her special farewell banquet... Biographie de l'auteur douglas coupland is one of the most far-sighted and observant writers of our time. Inventor of many a catchphrase and memorable descriptive epithet, his books are cults that millions have read. Among his previous books are Generation X and Girlfriend in a Coma.
