[feotakahari]

English teachers give us all manner of shit that's 1/4 het, and a decent amount that's 1/4 lesbian. Turnabout is fair play.

[(Anonymous)]

What?

I'm honestly confused about what you mean

[(Anonymous)]

My English classes never gave us anything graphic... but I guess college might?

[feotakahari]

College, yes. The last one I remember was something about a lesbian vampire with AIDS. It was pretty dire.

[(Anonymous)]

I was a writing major; almost everything I took in college was an English class. And I was never assigned anything more than 'vaguely sex-ish.'

[solticisekf]

That's a lot of lesbian lit which is cool. IA alash should be viewed as normal because why not.

[sabotabby]

If you grow up in Canada, it's more like 3/4 incest, 1/4 bear sex.

[feotakahari]

What, were you assigned V.C. Andrews?

[sabotabby]

Haha, no. We all read her, though.

[(Anonymous)]

What the fuck books do you guys get assigned for English class that are 3/4 incest and 1/4 bear sex?

[sabotabby]

Not the same books. We're not barbarians!

The bear sex is, appropriately enough, Bear by Marian Engel. Incest-wise, I remember Fall On Your Knees and a lot of Margaret Laurence short stories that involved creepy uncles. In general, there's a lot of incestuous child abuse in CanLit. Like, George R.R. Martin/Supernatural fanfiction levels of incest.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm still tempted to believe that Bear is some organized joke that Canada is playing on the internet but no, it's real, and apparently very acclaimed.

[thistlechaser]

*laughs* Wow, I thought you were joking about the bear sex thing.

[(Anonymous)]

<3 Fall On Your Knees! <3 (Not for the incest but the saga.)

[chardmonster]

I didn't know Brother Bear was Canadian

[sabotabby]

It's apparently set in Canada. (I've never heard of it.)

[(Anonymous)]

Laughing hysterically because it's so true.

There's a reason Margaret Atwood and L.M. Montgomery are the only Canadian authors most people outside of Canada have heard of, and that's because Canadian literature is fucking terrible.

[sabotabby]

I like Ondaaje. In the Skin of a Lion taught me about snowballing in Grade 11.

[(Anonymous)]

...what is snowballing?

/probably shouldn't even ask...

[(Anonymous)]

Canada's got some really good SFF writers, though. Besides Atwood (who totally writes SF regardless of what she says about it), there's Karin Lowachee, Tanya Huff, Rachel Hartman, Geoff Ryman, Guy Gavriel Kay, Spider Robinson, Charles de Lint, Hiromi Goto, Nalo Hopkinson, Robert J. Sawyer, etc., etc.

[(Anonymous)]

And this is why Canada wins. I'm moving. Can I live with Rob Ford?

[sabotabby]

I'm guessing one way or another, there will be room in that mansion of his pretty soon.

[(Anonymous)]

Is he on the verge of death?

[(Anonymous)]

What have you been assigned to read that's about lesbians?

[(Anonymous)]

Right? I would love to get assigned something about lesbians? Gay guys (subtextual or outright) is way more common in my experience with academics. (This is mostly cause narratives about men are more common in general.)
