Northern Love: An Exploration of Canadian Masculinity

by Paul Nonnekes

In Northern Love, Paul Nonnekes pursues debates in psychoanalysis and cultural theory in pursuit of a distinctive conception of a Canadian masculinity. In close discussions of novels by Rudy Wiebe ( A Discovery of Strangers ) and Robert Kroetsch ( The Man from the Creeks ), Nonnekes ranges from Hegel to Lacan, and Butler and Kristeva to iek, eliciting an evolving conception of love characteristic of the Canadian cultural imaginary.
