Argument-Coupland is moving away from his normal as a realism writer and becoming a more fictional writer.

Claim- As Girlfriend in a Coma progresses it becomes obvious that Coupland focuses less of the first third that is realism and centers the plot around the last two-thirds which are a mixutre of a zombie apocalypse and miracles that most realist writers would not put a thought too.

Evidence- 1) "Girlfriend in a Coma deploys Coupland's trademark slacker realism for only a third of the text before presenting a mysterious apocalypse, a libidinous ghost, and an assortment of miracles."

2) "One might decide that Coupland has moved into the fantasy genre"
