Three by Three
This collection comprises three stories each by three Quebecois authors.
Deathly Delights
Tales of desire and crimes of passion set in dark alleys and closed bedrooms: perfect murders and strangely erotic encounters by desperate, angry women. Deathly Delights is Anne Dandurand's third collection of short stories; her first to be translated into English.
The Waiting Room
This wild book takes the reader on a trip past the edges of waiting into the delights of sexual imagination. What seems to be a quiet doctor’s office, with beige plush chairs and magazines to read and pictures of plain boats and oceans on the wall, is suddenly transformed into a scene of orgiastic exploration. Anne Durdurand has done it again: The Waiting Room is a box of sensual chocolates waiting to be opened.
The Cracks
This is an erotic, exuberant, tragicomic novel about a young Montreal woman at odds with herself and her society.
Violence and the Female Imagination
In the past twenty years Quebec women writers, including Aline Chamberland, Claire Dé, Suzanne Jacob, and Hélène Rioux, have created female characters who are fascinated with bold sexual actions and language, cruelty, and violence, at times culminating in infanticide and serial killing. Paula Ruth Gilbert argues that these Quebec feminist writers are "re-framing" gender. Violence and the Female Imagination explores whether these imagined women are striking out at an external other or harming themselves through acts of self-destruction and depression. Gilbert examines the degree to which women are imitating men in the outward direction of their anger and hostility and suggests that such "tough" women may be mocking men in their "macho" exploits of sexuality and violence. She illustrates the ways in which Quebec female authors are "feminizing" violence or re-envisioning gender in North American culture. Gilbert bridges methodological gaps and integrates history, sociology, literary theory, feminist theory, and other disciplinary approaches to provide a framework for the discussion of important ethical and aesthetic questions.

History of Literature in Canada
The development of literature in Canada with an eye to its multicultural, multiethnic, multilingual nature. From modest colonial beginnings, literature in Canada has arrived at the center stage of world literature. Works by English-Canadian writers -- both established writers such as Margaret Atwood and new talents such as Yann Martel -- make regular appearances on international bestseller lists. French-Canadian literature has also found its own voice in the North American and francophone worlds. "CanLit" has likewise developed into a staple of academic interest, pursued in Canadian Studies programs in Canada and around the world. This volume draws on the expertise of scholars from Canada, G...
