Brett Josef Grubisic (born 1963)[1] is a Canadian author, editor, and was a sessional lecturer of the English language at the University of British Columbia until 2022 when they parted ways.
[3] Grubisic has edited an anthology of gay male pulp fiction, which is a collection of stories that represent lives outside the urban middle-class mainstream.
The anthology aims to redress an absence which the editors claim to have noticed in Canadian literature: sexually frank fiction.
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.
[5] 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 to work on a television biopic about Lady Hester Stanhope.
