Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture
''Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture'', published by St. Martin's Press in 1991, is the first novel by Douglas Coupland. The novel popularized the term ''Generation X'', which refers to those born after the post–World War II baby boom up until the early 1980s. It is a framed narrative, in which a group of youths exchange heartfelt stories about themselves and fantastical stories of their creation.
Coupland released the similarly titled ''Generation A'' in September 2009.〔ISBN 978-0-307-35772-4 〕
==Synopsis==
''Generation X'' is a framed narrative, like Chaucer's ''The Canterbury Tales'', or ''The Decameron'' by Boccaccio. The framing story is that of three friends—Dag, Claire, and the narrator, Andy—are living together in the Coachella Valley in southern California. The tales are told by the various characters in the novel, which is arranged into three parts. Each chapter is separately titled rather than numbered, with titles such as "I Am Not A Target Market" and "Adventure Without Risk Is Disneyland."
The novel was set circa 1990, in the then rapidly growing and economic booming-turned-into-depressed communities of Palm Springs and the Inland Empire region. Some characters were born and raised in Los Angeles and suburban Orange County.
