The passage is a part from Barron's 6 GRE Practice Tests.

Yet if Coupland and his compatriots do not recognize their place in Canadian literature, Coupland does recognize himself as a Canadian writer who is intent on investigating the culture of his country through his art. Dedicating his book 'Souvenir of Canada' to his father, a more Canadian man is hard to imagine, Coupland adds, and to follow in his foot-steps is the deeplest of honors.

I don't know the exact meaning of this passage in that

1. What does 'yet if' mean in the first sentence?
2. What a more Canadian is hard to imagine is dedicating his book to his father or the book 'Souvenir of Canada'?
3. Coupland adds what? :( I hardly understand what the last sentence means.

Thank you.
