About this product

Product Information

A riveting, witty, and profound story of loneliness and connection from internationally bestselling author Douglas Coupland. The 1997 night that Hale-Bopp streaks across the skies over Vancouver, Liz Dunn has nothing in her life but impending oral surgery and an armful of schmaltzy video rentals to get her through her solitary convalescence in her sterile condo. She's overweight, crabby, and plain, but behind her eyes lurk whole universes that she's never had the opportunity to express. Just as Liz makes a quiet decision to seek peace in her life rather than certainty, along comes another comet, in the form of a young man admitted to the local hospital with her name and number inscribed on his Medic Alert bracelet: In case of emergency, contact Liz Dunn. A charming lost soul and a strange visionary, Jeremy upends Liz's quiet existence, triggering a chain of events that take her to the other side of the world and back, endangering her life just as a real chance at happiness finally seems within reach. By turns funny and heartbreaking, Eleanor Rigby is a fast-paced read and a haunting exploration of the ways in which loneliness affects us all.

Reviews
Eleanor Rigbyis heartfelt and a lightning-quick read, well worth the time and a must for any Coupland fan or any newcomer., Coupland has crafted a formidable pop style that hooks up dead-on cultural anthropology with surprising reserves of emotion., Eleanor Rigby is heartfelt and a lightning-quick read, well worth the time and a must for any Coupland fan or any newcomer., Ever the risk-taker, [Coupland] enters the blandly settled consciousness of a fat, unloved, 50-ish woman with no friends and no life, and makes us believe in her., Funny, sometimes even profound, these authors offer an amusing road map to that strange and winding road from bachelorhood to marriage.

Shipping price was slightly above average but book price was low and this book is hard to find for sale so I was very glad to find it. Photo and condition description were adequate so it was not difficult to decide to buy this. Packaged well and promptly shipped, so good all around. I look forward to seeing more from this seller.

  • Latest Winner by Douglas Coupland

    Douglas Coupland does not sugarcoat the "reality" that he creates in his books. They are all different in story, but are similar in that they reveal an insight into the dark and realistic nature of his characters' lives. At the same time, they all maintain an optimism that transcends to MY life and MY reality. I thought Eleanor Rigby was very much in keeping with his style of creation and I truly enjoyed the story. As with all of his other books, I saw parts of myself in the character of the narrator; parts I like and parts I don't like so much.

  • A little boring, but good

    I usually read Douglas Coupland, excellent writer Nice cover I bought others which are better than this one, more easy to read. Anyhow, the manin history seems interesting.
