Douglas Coupland gets Canada, and he has set out to re-invent his country with his particular brand of insight, humour and visual acuity. Heartfelt homage to Terry Fox. Nanaimo bars for the soul. Unforgettable railway images revealing the country's historic central nervous system. Startling photography from Chris Gergley, Ed Burtynsky, Geoffrey James, Roberta Bondar and many more. And a fetching double-headed Canada goose which will forever change the way you look at hunting decoys. Souvenir of Canada created a sensation when it was published July 1st, 2001. A stubby dominated the country's best-seller lists for months, and made the front pages of every major Canadian newspaper. Souvenir of Canada 2 picks up where its predecessor left off. As with the best jazz, the riffs are fresh, never quite predictable, and full of delicious rhythm and subtle humour. This book is packed full of powerfully resonant images, and unexpected juxtapositions that reveal a new Canada, one at home in a new century. No lighthouses, grain elevators or teepees here. Only a country as experimental and unexpected as Canada could inspire a book as eclectic and wonderful as this one.… (altro)
This follow-up to Coupland's earlir edition of nation-sensibility-building is not as strong as the first. The first book was pretty much divided between reasonably similarly structured mini-essays and photographs. This time around, the essays vary much more widely in intent and length, they're more loosely written and more autobiographical, and the images don't transmit information about the country with the sense of depth and feeling they did the first time around.
However, the book is a lot angrier than the first, and for that reason alone, if you read the first one, you should follow it up with this.

I think of him running onward, always forward, further and further into the heart of this wild majestic country, knowing that however hard the journey might be, he was always heading home.
