- Girlfriend in a Coma is a novel by Canadian writer and artist Douglas Coupland. It was first published by HarperCollins Canada in 1998. The novel tells the story of a group of friends growing up in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in the late 1970s. On the night of a teenage house-wrecking party, one of the protagonists, Karen, falls into a coma. More alarmingly, she seemed to expect it, having given her boyfriend, Richard, a letter detailing the vivid dreams of the future she had experienced and how she wanted to sleep for a thousand years to avoid that dystopia. The book was named after the 1987 single "Girlfriend in a Coma" by The Smiths. Additionally, Coupland uses other Smiths lyrics, song and album titles within the book such as "Bigmouth Strikes Again", "Hand in Glove", and "The Queen Is Dead". (en)
- Girlfriend in a Coma är en roman av Douglas Coupland (1998), vars titel ursprungligen är namnet på en låt från 1987 av bandet the Smiths. Romanen berättar om en grupp ungdomar som växer upp i Vancouver, British Columbia, Kanada i slutet på 1970-talet. Under en särskilt tumultartad festkväll faller en av huvudpersonerna Karen, i koma. Inte nog med det; hon tycktes ha anat det själv, för pojkvännen Richard hade samma kväll fått ett brev som han endast skulle öppna ifall något hemskt kom att ske. I brevet beskrev Karen drömmar om en mörk, karg, dystopisk framtid som gjorde att hon hellre ville sova i tusen år. Boken är indelad i tre delar: 1.
* Karen i koma 2.
* Karens återkomst till världen 3.
* Apokalypsen där endast vännerna finns kvar i en insomnad värld. (sv)

- Girlfriend wasn't a consciously planned book. It pretty well erupted out of me. I started writing it at the start of 1996, during what was probably the darkest period of my life. I'd just returned in December 1995 from that disastrously exhausting European tour. (en)
