Stephen is middle-aged. He's gay. He's content, except when he
isn't. Stephen is a teacher. He's a poet. He has a new teaching job
in Kamloops, BC. Stephen has HIV.DR SAD is the story of one man's
journey across Canada and through his diagnosis. It is the story of
the distance between queer urban spaces and a small campus in a
small city in small-town BC. It is the story of discovering the
self within the world, and the world within the self, of
discovering the difference between living a life and simply
enduring one. This is a tragicomic cross-campus, cross-country romp
that believes in the power of romance. Weaving together narratives
of past and present, of Toronto's Gay Village and the streets of
Kamloops, BC this lively and dynamic semi-autobiographical novel
dives deeply into gender and queerness, class and privilege, and
the realities of aging. It is a dynamic and engaging hybrid,
stylistically daring while remaining intimate and human. Leaping
through time and mixing the playfully serious with the seriously
playful, DR SAD blends poetry with prose and finds the humour in
despair in one complete, glittering tragedy of triumph.
