Book excerpt: Long before the success of Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James, women were writing erotic romance stories that are brazen, seductive, and sexually liberating. Among these women is a group of prize-winning Canadian authors, including Kayla Perrin and Sharon Page, whose novels have reached the USA Today Bestseller List and the pages of Publishers Weekly. These stories will leave you yearning for more ... and more ... and dispel once and for all the myth that Canadians are as frigid as the northern climate. So sit back and warm yourself with these hot stories. Genre Fiction Canadian authors have become internationally celebrated masters of genre fiction. Robert Sawyer explores the bounds of speculative and science fiction, Peter Robinson heads up murder and mystery fiction investigations, and Charles de Lint conjures up fantastic worlds. In Northern Heat, Canadian authors put a pen to the erotic romance genre and show that Canadians are, contrary to popular belief, incredibly sexy.

Download or read book Romance of Transgression in Canada written by Thomas Waugh and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2006-07-18 with total page 623 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From pornography to autobiography, from the Cold War to the sexual revolution, from rural roots and mythologies to the queer meccas of Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal, The Romance of Transgression in Canada is a history of sexual representation on the large and small screen in English Canada and Quebec. Thomas Waugh identifies the queerness that has emerged at the centre of our national sex-obsessed cinema, filling a gap in the scholarly literature. In Part One he explores the explosive canon of artists such as Norman McLaren, Claude Jutra, Colin Campbell, Paul Wong, John Greyson, Patricia Rozema, Lea Pool, Bruce Labruce, Esther Valiquette, Marc Paradis, and Mirha-Soleil Ross. Part Two is an encyclopaedia of short essays covering 340 filmmakers, video artists, and institutions. The Romance of Transgression in Canada is both a scholarly account and a celebration of Canadian LGBTQ films - moving images that have scandalized conservative politicans, but are the envy of queer cultural festivals around the world.
