Fiction
Raymond Gunt likes to think of himself as a pretty decent
guy—he believes in karma, and helping his fellow man, and
all that other good stuff. Sure, he can be foulmouthed,
occasionally misogynistic, and can just generally rub people
the wrong way—through no fault of his own! So with all the
positive energy he’s creating, it’s a little perplexing to
consider the recent downward spiral his life has taken…Could
the universe be trying to tell him something? A B-unit cameraman with no immediate employment prospects,
Gunt decides to accept his ex-wife Fiona’s offer to shoot a
Survivor-style reality show on an obscure island in the
Pacific. With his upwardly failing sidekick, Neal, in tow,
Gunt somehow suffers multiple comas and unjust imprisonment,
is forced to reenact the “Angry Dance” from the movie Billy
Elliot, and finds himself at the center of a nuclear
war—among other tribulations and humiliations. A razor-sharp portrait of a morally bankrupt, gleefully
wicked modern man, Worst. Person. Ever. is a
side-splittingly funny and gloriously filthy new novel from
acclaimed author Douglas Coupland. A deeply unworthy book
about a dreadful human being with absolutely no redeeming
social value, it’s guaranteed to brighten up your day.
