I met him when I was living in London, England. He was at Books Etc. in Covent Garden signing copies of ‘Hey Nostradamus!’ and I brought along my copy of ‘Souvenir of Canada’ for him to sign as well.

When he saw it – he grabbed it for a few minutes to show his publishers, since it wasn’t in print in England. It’s clearly one of his favourites as he was quite excited about seeing it and showing it around. Afterwards he signed it ‘From a friend back home – Douglas Coupland, London, England’

He also did a book reading later that week, which was excellent. He talked a great deal about things that interest him in an insightful and funny way and only read one chapter of the book, but spoke for perhaps a couple hours.

He is by far one of my favourite authors.
