Peter Dubé's Desire as Praxis: Towards a Queer Surrealism dives deeply into the intricate connections between surrealism and the cultures of same-sex attracted queer men, unraveling the complex interplay of the erotic, affect, and the occult. In his groundbreaking first non-fiction work, acclaimed author Dubé-celebrated in *Quill and Quire* as a leading voice in gay surrealist fiction-invites readers on a journey that transcends traditional boundaries. This bold study illuminates the transformative potential of the subversive in literature, life, and sheer magic(k). Dubé's work offers new possibilities with profound personal, poetic, and political significance. Join him in this captivating exploration of the exciting intersections of desire, creativity, and identity.

He is the author, co-author or editor of a dozen books of fiction, non-fiction and poetry. His novella, Subtle Bodies, an imagined life of French surrealist René Crevel was a finalist for the Shirley Jackson Award, and his most recent work, a novel in prose poems entitled The Headless Man, was shortlisted for both the A. M. Klein Prize and the ReLit award. He was a member of the editorial committee of the contemporary art magazine Espace, art actuel for 18 years and is currently co-editor of The Philosophical Egg, an organ of living surrealism. He lives and works in his hometown of Montreal.
