    1997. Liz Dunn è forse la donna più sola in tutto il Canada: è sovrappeso, ignorata dagli uomini, guardata con sospetto dai parenti, ha un lavoro noioso, una casa arredata malissimo e i denti del giudizio che le fanno male. A sconvolgere questa calma ... (read full critics)

    I liked it, which comes as a surprise, given the mostly bad reviews I read on some newspapers' websites.

    It's a book about loneliness, about the power of unforeseen surprises in life to change a person's perspective on the world and themselves.

    I actually liked Liz Dunn: it's true, sometimes she reminds us a tad too much of how friendless and lonely she is, but she doesn't do so with self-pity, and from her special position of loneliness and silence, she watches and describes the world that surrounds her wittily.

    Nice characters, nice story and good writing. It's my first Douglas Coupland, and I'm glad I started with one of the least read ones and liked it.
