Life After God
Ratings6
Average rating3.3
YOU ARE THE FIRST GENERATION RAISED WITHOUT RELIGION What happens if we are raised without religion or beliefs? As we grow older, the beauty and disenchantments of the world temper our souls. We all have spiritual impulses, yet where do these impulses flow in a world of commodities and consumerism? LIFE AFTER GOD is a compellingly innovative collection of stories responding to these themes. Douglas Coupland takes us into worlds we know exist but rarely see, finding rare grace amid our pre-millennium turmoil.

the book I loved so much in high school and I still love now. the older I get, the more sense each story makes to me.
‰ЫПMom said people are interested in birds only inasmuch as they exhibit human behaviour‰ЫУgreed and stupidity and anger‰ЫУand by doing so they free us from the unique sorrow of being human. She thinks humans are tired of having to take the blame all my themselves for all the badness in the world.
‰ЫПI told Mom my own theory of why we like birds‰ЫУof how birds are a miracle because they prove to us there is a finer, simpler state of being which we may strive to attain.‰Ыќ
I started reading the part about nuclear explosions at the airport while waiting for my delayed flight, and from that point on I had not quite a lump in my throat or a stinging in my eyes, but a strange desire to weep for sadness about the world.
