Douglas Coupland’s new book, Highly Inappropriate Tales for Young People, is comprised of seven contemporary fairytales illustrated by Graham Roumieu. The Guardian gives us a sneak peek with a slide-show of the collection’s first story: “Donald, the Incredibly Hostile Juice Box.” Other characters you can expect to encounter are Hans the Weird Exchange Student and Bradon the Action Figure with Issues.

This is The Rumpus

The Rumpus.net is an online magazine focused on culture, as opposed to "pop culture." Pop culture can be hard to define and the term means different things to different people. Basically, we're not opposed to things that are popular, but we have no interest in "art" created by marketing executives. And we have no interest in derivative art, like images of famous people made from shoelaces or Star Wars characters in funny wigs. (More on what we're about here, here, and here.)

The Rumpus is not worried about being the first to break the news. We care about good writing, and we'll publish essays just because the writing is good. And we won't run a well crafted meditation alongside an actor's opinion of the war in Iraq. (more)
