After 3 Weeks on a String, Gum Thief Proves Decidedly Worthy of Perusal

Final reactions to the last installment of the Crush, Toronto campaign for Douglas Coupland’s The Gum Thief:

Roger, pt 3: If people wore costumes 365 days of the year, it wouldn’t be cool, it would just be Second Life
Bethany, pt 3: This clip was chillingly short. We think she is going to kill herself, or at least try, for attention’s sake
Glove Pond, the novel within the novel, pt 3: Gloria and her husband bond over dinner party sadism. We like where this is going

And we have no idea why these ads are now compelling us to buy this book. Maybe it’s because we actually did wait anxiously for each installment. Or maybe the thought of poisoning people at a dinner party — or at least making their tummies hurt — is almost appealing. Or maybe, once upon a time, we did scribble Anarchy symbols onto office supply shop property with felt pens.

It’s anybody’s guess, really.

Catch parts one and two here.
