• Biography/history note:Douglas Coupland was born December 30th, 1960 on the NATO base in Baden-Söllingen, West Germany. After Coupland's father completed his military service in 1965, the family settled in West Vancouver. Coupland studied three-dimensional art at the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design (ECIAD) and business science at the Japan America Institute of Management Science in Honolulu. Although best known as a novelist, Coupland is also an accomplished graphic designer, journalist, visual artist, playwright, and filmmaker. In 1987, Coupland was hired as a writer for Vancouver magazine. Coupland's first-ever article about "Generation X," defined as the generation of people born - after the baby boomers - in the 1960s and 1970s, was published Vancouver in September 1987. Generation X was later published as a novel, which Coupland followed with seventeen major literary works. Coupland also has written and produced for film and television projects, and has continued exhibiting as a visual artist.
