'An astonishing novel... To imagine characters such as these finding redemption through mutual love should be impossible. Except, of course, that it is what many of us spend our time imagining every day, whenever we pick up a copy of Hello magazine or read a celebrity love story in a tabloid. This is Coupland's genius. He cre ates concepts that allow us to get to grips with our unimaginable, real-life, end-of-the-world news.'  NICHOLAS BLINCOE, Literary Review

'A romantic comedy, a social satire, and a masterpiece of elegant construction.'   ESQUIRE

'John Johnson is a successful movie producer now on his uppers, mired in disillusion and alcohol. In a near-death experience, he has a vision of a beautiful girl who can save him - an actress called Susan Colgate, glimpsed in a re-run of an ancient soap-opera on his hospital television set. John, recovering, determines that he will "simply stop being me". He will erase himself, disappear, re-create himself- and find Susan... Coupland has passion and pace, intelligence and wit. If you find anything about the way we live now disturbing and wrong, he is your man. (He is my man.)'              DAILY TELEGRAPH

'Coupland manipulates the two narratives with devilish mastery: Susan and John's stories mirror each other, almost touch, then move away... As John notes, you reach a moment in life when thereafter "it's reruns". For Coupland, soothsayer of the anxious generation, the only way to break the loop is with love, and that's exactly what his characters are holding out for.' GUARDIAN

'Douglas Couptand has moved a long way from Generation X, but his worldview remains refreshingly constant . . . Miss Wyoming is so much fun, you could forget it was a satire, and get to the end without realizing that Coupland is Tom Wolfe in a cool blue suit.'
