Women like Ms. Perron not only have the necessary traditional skills to be great soldiers and officers, but bring hosts of new and essential skill sets. We continue to repel them at our own foolish peril.” - Roméo Dallaire 6 Some books are catalysts. Shake Hands with the Devil was one. For 2017, that book is Out Standing in the Field. In her memoir, Sandra Perron describes her experience of the Canadian Military - one of the most important institutions of our nation. What she has to say is exactly what the top brass has been paying lip-service to for years, and doing nothing to improve. In 2016, the Auditor General’s Report noted that the military had no strategy to recruit women, even though they are required to meet a target that 25% of the uniformed personnel be women. According to Statistics Canada, 1,000 members of our military say they have been sexually assaulted in the past year. SANDRA PERRON chairs the Minister’s In her revealing and moving memoir, Sandra Perron, Canada’s first Advisory Board on Employment Equity and female infantry officer and a member of the Royal 22nd Regiment — the is on the Board of Governors for the Corps of legendary “Van Doos” — describes her fight against a system of institutional Commissionaires in Québec. She is founder sexism. Though repeatedly identified as top of her class throughout her and president of the Imagine... Project. training, she was subject to harassment by her male colleagues. Her military experience, however, wasn’t all negative. Through two ISBN 978-1-77086-494-8 deployments to Bosnia and Croatia, Perron forged lasting friendships with $24.95 • TP • 6” x 9” • 448 pp men and women, serving her country with courage and compassion, and her determination helped pave the way for women’s inclusion in the Armed BIO008000 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY/Military Forces. Out Standing in the Field is the story of a soldier who refused to let her BIO022000 BIOGRAPHY & comrades or her country down, even while serving a military institution that AUTOBIOGRAPHY/Women failed her repeatedly. Beautifully written, Perron’s memoir is a testament to Release: April 2017 her fortitude and patriotism, and serves as proof that the spirit of a true hero cannot be bent or broken. 1 Cormorant Books Spring 2017 6 THE UNFINISHED DOLLHOUSE a memoir by Michelle Alfano No mother is prepared for the moment when a child comes out to her as a person whose physical gender is out-of-keeping with his emotional and psychological gender-identity. In Michelle Alfano’s intimate memoir, she recounts her experience as the mother of a transgender child. The central metaphor of The Unfinished Dollhouse tells the story: on Frankie’s fourth birthday, her parents Michelle and Rob purchased a kit to create a beautiful dollhouse. Michelle imagined building the home, buying the tiny pieces of furniture and accessories to fill it and, more importantly, the times she and her daughter would spend constructing the perfect doll- house - a fantasy of domestic and familial happiness. Frankie expressed no interest in such typically girlish pursuits because Frankie harboured a secret - a secret about gender. In the years to follow, Frankie’s parents experienced an education in parenting a child transitioning from female to male - which pronouns to use, how to disclose the information to friends, family, school and how to ISBN 978-1-77086-498-6 deal with the reactions of all - some heartening, some surprising, some $22.95 • TP • 5.125” x 7.625” • 288 pp disappointing.

BIO031000 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY/LGBT 6 Release: May 2017 MICHELLE ALFANO is a Toronto writer whose fiction and non-fiction work has been published in Canada and in the United States. Her short story “Opera” was a finalist for the Journey Prize; Made Up of Arias, the novella based on that story, won the 2010 Bressani Award for Short Fiction. She is the former Associate Editor-in-Chief (Administration) of the literary quarterly Descant. 2 Cormorant Books Spring 2017 6 IN A WIDE COUNTRY a novel by Robert Everett-Green “The mouth she drew with her red lipliner was bigger and more shapely than her own, and it made me think, not for the first time, how wonderful life would be if I could draw a better me.” This is the observation of twelve-year-old Jasper, watching his mother, sometime-model Corinne, prepare herself for their escape from Winnipeg and the situation she finds herself in. From this point, Jasper can only try to create the stable life he craves, as the best candidate for a substitute father, Dean, vanishes in the dust rising behind Corinne’s Corvair – a present Dean gave her. They drive to the farm in Alberta where Corinne grew up, then on to Edmonton, before stopping finally at the edge of the continent, Vancouver; and along the way, Jasper hears variations on the story of his father’s death - always a plane crash, always on the hunt for oil, but the circumstances and weather alter with every telling. In a Wide Country, the debut novel by Robert Everett-Green, is the moving story of a mother and her son traveling together, but in different directions, across western Canada in the summer of 1961. It’s about the way ISBN 978-1-77086-500-6 two people live in a web of stories, spun from their experiences but also from $22.95 • TP • 5.5” x 8.5” • 256 pp things they’ve heard, imagined, or misunderstood, blending into each other FIC019000 FICTION/Literary from many sources. It is about growing up along the soft border between Release: April 2017 truth and illusion, and a boy’s awakening from a childhood ruled by stories more satisfying than true. 6 ROBERT EVERETt-GREEN is a feature writer for The Globe and Mail. He was born in Edmonton and grew up there and on a farm in eastern Alberta. Everett-Green was a professional musician for several years before leaving that task to better hands. He has written several published short stories, and had the good fortune to receive a National Magazine Award (Silver), National Newspaper Award nomination, and Journalism Fellow, Massey College, 1998 – ‘99. He currently lives in Montreal. 3 Cormorant Books Spring 2017 6 READ THIS BEFORE YOU DIET The Science of Weight Loss Explained by Kirsten Bédard This is not a diet book. This is the book to read before going on a diet. Read This Before You Diet doesn’t tie the reader up with notions of fad diets - no “how I lost weight eating my favourite foods” recipe here. It is a book that releases the reader from the strictures of any specific diet, and addresses nutrition and metabolism. It explains in basic terms how the body uses food as fuel, how the brain reacts to certain kinds of foods and patterns of eating, and not only the how but the why of weight gain and weight loss. Nutritionist, personal trainer, and corporate speaker Kirsten Bédard combines clear language and delightful, humorous illustrations to give readers a step-by-step guide to attaining a healthy lifestyle, and to promote ISBN 978-1-77086-496-2 the idea that weight loss is better approached not as a radical undertaking, $20.00 • HC • 5.25” x 5.25” • 192 pp but as the happy by-product of simple but important changes that everyone HEA010000 HEALTH & FITNESS/ can make in their daily habits.

  • QC Fiction in EN
    QUEBEC FICTIO I EGLISH DURIG THE 1980S: 1 A CASE STUDY I MARGIALITY Linda Leith I The unique position of Quebec writers in the English language 2 and the peculiarities of the fiction they have been publishing during the 1980s are best understood in the light of recent socio-political and cultural changes within Quebec and in Canada as a whole. Caught up as no other English-Canadian writers have been caught up in the maelstrom of change, and living as no other English-Canadian writers live in a society with a French face, these writers have produced a body of work quite distinct in some ways from other contemporary English-Canadian fiction. Much of my thinking about this writing is inspired by recent work on the formation of literary canons and on the literary production of marginal social groups. It owes a particular debt to the work of Raymond Williams, who devoted much of his career to exploring the possibilities of discussing English literature and society together while respecting the uniqueness of specific texts. This is a debt not only to Williams's most general observation that "as a society changes, its literature changes" (1965, 268), and to his comments on the formation of a literary tradition, but also to his suggestive, though not wholly applicable, account of the interrelations between dominant and alternative or oppositional aspects at a given historical moment. Williams's distinction between two different kinds of alternatives on a status quo, which he terms the "residual" and the "emergent" (1977, 121-27), is helpful in discussions of the cultural manifestations of the middle class in nineteenth century Britain; it is not applicable in the present context of English Quebec fiction, which requires an assessment of a social group linked not along class lines but rather along linguistic and cultural lines.

  • From “Telling Transgender Stories” to “Transgender People Telling Stories”: Transgender Literature and the Lambda Literary Awards, 1997-2017
    FROM “TELLING TRANSGENDER STORIES” TO “TRANSGENDER PEOPLE TELLING STORIES”: TRANSGENDER LITERATURE AND THE LAMBDA LITERARY AWARDS, 1997-2017 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Andrew J. Young May 2018 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Dustin Kidd, Advisory Chair, Sociology Dr. Judith A. Levine, Sociology Dr. Tom Waidzunas, Sociology Dr. Heath Fogg Davis, External Member, Political Science © Copyright 2018 by Andrew J. Yo u n g All Rights Res erved ii ABSTRACT Transgender lives and identities have gained considerable popular notoriety in the past decades. As part of this wider visibility, dominant narratives regarding the “transgender experience” have surfaced in both the community itself and the wider public. Perhaps the most prominent of these narratives define transgender people as those living in the “wrong body” for their true gender identity. While a popular and powerful story, the wrong body narrative has been criticized as limited, not representing the experience of all transgender people, and valorized as the only legitimate identifier of transgender status. The dominance of this narrative has been challenged through the proliferation of alternate narratives of transgender identity, largely through transgender people telling their own stories, which has the potential to complicate and expand the social understanding of what it means to be transgender for both trans- and cisgender communities. I focus on transgender literature as a point of entrance into the changing narratives of transgender identity and experience. This work addresses two main questions: What are the stories being told by trans lit? and What are the stories being told about trans literature? What follows is a series of separate, yet linked chapters exploring the contours of transgender literature, largely through the context of the Lambda Literary Awards over the past twenty years.

Adam, B.D. (1987). The rise of a gay and lesbian movement . Boston, MA: Twayne Publishers. Although the Stonewall riots in New York City in June 1969 are generally considered the beginning of the Gay Liberation movement, "the first social movement to advance the civil rights of gay people was found in Germany in 1897." Amplifying John Lauritsen and David Thorstad's excellent Early Homosexual Rights Movement (1864-1935) (1974), sociologist Adam reviews the social, historic, and economic conditions surrounding the development of gay rights worldwide. Using secondary sources, he interweaves individuals, episodes, and examples into an overall picture, chronicling the fits and starts of lesbian and gay rights movements to the present. An extensive list of references supplements the annotated selected bibliography of this comprehensive international history.
