      10. Rather than go on with details, I want to ask: what is going on here? Why so much CanLit about unnatural animal & vegetable sex?

      11. I think it all comes down to settler colonialism & national identity.

      12. The United States might be defined by a proposition ("All men etc.") Canada is defined by a myth: wrestling with harshness of nature

      13. In language of Northrop Frye & @MargaretAtwood, settler Canadian identity is surviving harshness nature in small garrisons.

      14. To wrestle with nature is also, in time, to feel that peace will come if you can achieve intimacy with nature.

      15. This is also highly suggestive. I wonder if these human/animal stories aren't also race allegorieshttps://twitter.com/tressiemcphd/status/776986685724909568 …

      16. Should add that much of official Canadian culture is based on promoting idea of identity rooted in nature. Magazine is called The Walrus

      17. Another magazine, devoted Canadian history, was called The Beaver. Had to change name because people thought it was a porn publication.

      18. By the way, in the replies people mention other Canadian bestiality fiction by Gowdy & Finley. Someone should compile a list.

          as someone who has visited Canada many times, I think the strangeness of Canada has to be observed and experienced.

          Q: Why is cucumber sex 'strange'? Are there specific activities that are not strange? Is Missionary the only one? What about American Pie?
