About
"Queer Eye for the Private Eye" is a study of Anthony Bidulka's Russell Quant Mystery Series. This series of five detective novels featuring gay private eye Russell Quant from Saskatoon is the first of its kind in Canadian literature. While considering the origins and evolution of the traditional hard-boiled detective subgenre, as well as recent gay detective fiction produced by authors in the United States, this study explores how lesbians and gays are represented in Anthony Bidulka's imagined community and how a queer reading of the Russell Quant Mystery Series can assist in an interrogation of the relationship between Bidulka's fictional representation and the tensions in the evolving gay community in Canada today.
