“The power of Terry Goldie’s Pink Snow is not to show us what we’ve always known, that some Canadian fiction writers have been gay or that they treat gayness in their work. Goldie shows us what it means to read from a gay perspective even when reading such canonical texts as Wacousta, As For Me and My House, Who Has Seen the Wind, The Mountain and the Valley, Beautiful Losers, or Fifth Business. No matter how well you think you already know these Canadian classics, you emerge from the pages of Pink Snow with a sense of fresh insights, and even, to paraphrase Goldie, of the queerness of much of Canadian fiction.” — Russell Brown, University of Toronto at Scarborough
