• Brett_Josef_Grubisic abstract "Brett Josef Grubisic (born 1963) is a Canadian novelist and editor, and professor of English at the University of British Columbia. He obtained degrees from University of Victoria (B.A., M.A.) and the University of British Columbia (Ph.D.)He has edited one anthology of gay male pulp fiction, and co-edited an anthology of upcoming Canadian writers. The former collection highlights stories that represent lives outside the urban middle-class mainstream; the latter, featuring such acclaimed writers as Annabel Lyon, Steven Heighton, Camilla Gibb, Michael Turner, and Larissa Lai, aims to redress an absence the editors claim to have noticed in Canadian literature: sexually frank fiction. Grubisic's debut novel, The Age of Cities, was published in 2006, and was a finalist for the City of Vancouver Book Prize. Set predominantly in the late 1950s, the novel-within-a-novel traces the uncertain evolution of a librarian as he struggles between two disparate choices, one urban and the other rural. This Location of Unknown Possibilities, Grubisic's follow-up novel, appeared in 2014. Satirizing university campus and film production politics, it recounts the comic but transformative experience of two anti-heroic protagonists, Marta Spëk, an English professor, and Jakob Nugent, a film production manager, as they travel from Vancouver to British Columbia's Okanagan Valley in order to work on a television biopic about Lady Hester Stanhope. Understanding Beryl Bainbridge, Grubisic's comprehensive study of the British author's fiction, was published in 2008; it examines Bainbridge as a blackly comic novelist as well as a writer of historiographic metafiction. Appearing in 2009, American Hunks: The Muscular Male Body in Popular Culture, 1860-1970, a pictorial social history co-authored with David L. Chapman, charts changes in the depictions of and attitudes toward the nude and semi-nude male body in North America. National Plots: Historical Fiction and Changing Ideas of Canada, co-edited with Andrea Cabajsky, was published in 2010. The authors of the collection's fourteen essays explore the diverse ways that a wide range of historical fiction (published between 1850 and 2005) contributes to the formation of national identity. He writes about books and writers for National Post, Vancouver Sun, Globe and Mail, and Xtra!.".
