Souvenir of Canada 2

Douglas Coupland returns to re-inventing Canada with his particular brand of insight, pithy humour and visual acuity.

Souvenir of Canada created a sensation when it was published in 2001. 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.
Souvenir of Canada 2

Heartfelt homage to Terry Fox. Nanaimo bars for the soul. The Superstack in Sudbury. Unforgettable railway images revealing the country’s historic central nervous system. Startling photography and a fetching double-headed Canada goose which will forever change the way you look at hunting decoys!

Souvenir of Canada 2 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.
“The Canada goose shown on the front cover is not the product of electronic image-manipulation ... it's made from two goose decoys that I fused together. I guess it could mean quite a few things. Canada's slightly screwy bilingual policy springs to mind. Perhaps more so, it refers to the breadth of the country, its two ends being as far away from each other as east is from west — with an extra-half hour tagged on for Newfoundland.” – excerpt from Douglas Coupland’s Souvenir of Canada 2
Written by Douglas Coupland. Published by Douglas & McIntyre Ltd., 2004.
