The novel yearns to be innovative, but any hope of memorable satire is scuttled by writing that is repetitive and stereotyped. Coupland is no master stylist, but he excels at creating sympathy for his assorted nerds and misfits by delving deeply into their characters. Channer’s technique, by contrast, is all surface. Her characters are one-dimensional and indistinguishable, and as a result, the reader feels no empathy for them.
Circumstances force Dag, a young snowboarder, to give up his sport and to find another way to live. He embarks on two paths, the first a subsistence job as a barista in a coffee mega-chain, where he works hard to be a worker extraordinaire. He also invents an online alter ego who pronounces his own brand of wisdom and rant, expressing what Dag can't in his role of coffee slave. Dag doesn't know who he is any more. Crapped out of his sport. Can do no right by his best friend. Can do no wrong by his girl roommate. Pursued by the corporate paranoia of his coffee overlords. Baiting the world with his blog. Dag's brewing a 21st century identity crisis that will scald everyone in his path. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
