At the Bottom of the Sky (2007)
As the city grinds through a long, hot summer, a group of friends living
on its margins face a ritualized confrontation between truth and
falsehood. One of them has misled the others with a series of utterly
unmotivated fabrications. Why? What lies behind the deceptions?
At the Bottom of the Sky explores these questions and the lives of
a clan of unforgettable characters in linked tableaux that are as lush and
sensual as Persian miniatures. Each story focuses on a single event – the
assault of two young men or the completion of a talking sculpture, for
example – that brings on another change in the group.
Hovering World (2002)
A day-in-the-life novel — but what a day, what a life! Peter Dubé's first
novel, Hovering World, moves effortlessly from sunlight to midnight
and far beyond, in passages that are by turns haunting and haunted,
surreal and erotic. The arrival of a photo of an angel sets off a quest of
sorts, and along the way we encounter a general named Disarray, essays in
art theory, moments of passionate obsession in both the streets of the
city and the 'opaque corridors' of a gay sauna.
Hovering World is queer in all the best senses of the word —
non-conformist, eccentric, dissenting, crazed, aberrant and, of course,
invaluable. An unforgettable debut.
The Vortex Faction Manifesto
(2001)
A metafictional rant from an “imaginary”
avant-garde group outlining a program of perpetual and playful
subversions.
