This anthology redraws Canada as a complex terraincognita of desire and dismay. "Eco-feminism, censorship, and the 'queerness' of the True North. Richly eclectic in tone and material, unrelentingly controversial, and very difficult to ignore. It is likely the most novel take on our state of affairs in quite some time."—Michael Freeman, Venue magazine, Toronto.
