«Hey Nostradamus!» is the contemporary fiction novel by Douglas Coupland, published by Harper Perennial in paperback (272 pages, in English).
In 1988, a shooting at a Vancouver high school disrupts the life of a neighborhood and leaves several people unable to move on. Four voices narrate the aftermath: Cheryl, a pregnant student who writes a kind of testament before dying; Jason, her secret husband, still consumed by loss; Heather, who tries to love Jason; and Reg, Jason's father, a religious man with a dark side. The novel weaves together grief, faith, guilt and the difficulty of sustaining bonds after violence.
The novel was originally published in 2003 and received the Canadian Authors Association Award in the fiction category in 2004.
For readers of Douglas Coupland and contemporary literary fiction looking for ensemble stories about grief, faith and violence.
