Polaroids from the Dead by Douglas Coupland is a collection of essays, short fiction, and photographic reflections exploring life at the edge of the twentieth century. Douglas Coupland moves between cultural commentary, personal memory, and quiet observation, using the Polaroid as both a metaphor and a method: a way of capturing moments that are immediate, imperfect, and deeply human.
The book examines celebrity, counterculture, suburban life, and the strange mix of optimism and unease that defined the 1990s. Coupland’s writing is sharp but empathetic, shifting between analysis and storytelling with clarity and intention. It is an atmospheric record of a moment in time, and a study of how culture shapes identity.
