Description	Miss Wyoming is a novel by Douglas Coupland. It was first published by Random House of Canada in January 2000.The novel follows two protagonists, Susan Colgate, a former Miss Wyoming, and John Johnson, a former action film producer. Both have experienced early success but now find themselves in terminal career decline and with a host of personal problems. When circumstances intervene to offer routes out of their lives and then to bring them together, they are afforded the opportunity to discover themselves and to brighten their futures.The title concretely derives from a plot point in the book in which a driven stage mother moves the family to Wyoming because it is the easiest state from which to land contestants in national competitions, though it has been noted that the title also comments on the peculiar notion of longing for something a person hasn’t experienced herself.Jensen, Mikkel."Miss(ed) Generation: Douglas Coupland’s Miss Wyoming. in Culture Unbound, 2011
