The first paragraph of Hey Nostradamus
I believe that what separates humanity from everything else in this world-- spaghetti, binder paper, deep-sea creatures, edelweiss and Mount McKinley-- is that humanity alone has the capacity at any given moment to commit all possible sins. Even those of us who try to live a good and true life remain as far away from grace as the Hillside Strangler or any demon who ever tride to poison the village well.Douglas Coupland's novels are compelling, insightful, funny, and in a very quirky way...very Dostoyevskian.
Enjoy.
