In Northern Love, Paul Nonnekes proposes a conception of love suggestive of a distinctive model of Canadian masclinity. He pursues debates in psychoanalysis and cultural theory in relation to two representative male characters in novels by Rudy Wiebe (A Discovery of Strangers) and Robert Kroetsch (The Man from the Creek).
Paul Nonnekes is the author Three Moments of Love in Leonard Cohen and Bruce Cockburn and an associate professor in the Master of Arts Integrated Studies program at Athabasca University.
