""The projector clicked again. On the wall was a photo of Mair holding a placard defiantly, her shoulders squared to the police officer who attempted to wrench it out of her hands. In careful writing she'd printed the words: 'Coal Not Dole'.""Scab by Ellen Davies
""She was aware of the swing of her skirt as she went. Old woman crosses gangplank, she thought. Her reflection threw back someone she wasn't expecting. She was recently ancient, she decided.

    A master of wit and wry humor on the page, Mark Twain also gained acclaim as a speaker throughout his literary career. Twain delivered this address on theoretical morality vs. practical morality to the New Vagabonds Club of London. With his signature tongue-in-cheek humor, he tells the audience that the only way to learn practical morality is by committing immoral acts in order to “vaccinate” oneself against committing them in the future. Presented with anecdotes from his childhood, this Twain speech masterfully walks the line between light-hearted humor and biting truth.

    New risky fiction—with no names attached. 
     
     
     
    If authors could write their sex scenes anonymously, would they be less reticent? Would they include the stuff they didn't want their mom, or the newspapers, to read? 
     
     
     
    Here are twenty-four original short pieces of fiction on the theme of sex, by twenty-four prominent authors living in Canada. Heather O'Neill, Lisa Moore, Michael Winter, Zoe Whittall, Pasha Malla, francesca ekwuyasi, Drew Hayden Taylor, Tamara Faith Berger, and Susan Swan are among these. But we won't tell you who wrote what. 
     
     
     
    The pieces are uncensored, unpredictable; they veer from graphic to subtle to surreal. There is straight sex and gay sex. There is frustrated sex. There is sex that happens entirely through text messages. Secret Sex is a book of erotic imaginings by some of Canada's most sophisticated and respected writers, working in total freedom, secretly. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
