Abstract
Scott Symons’s Place d’Armes was intended as a poisoned gift for Canada on its one hundredth birthday, a discursive “enema” for a “constipated” nation. In its employment of metafictional techniques, the novel explores the dissolution of Anglo-Canadian identity in an era of Liberal “fédérasty.” Its solution to the dilemma of Canadian biculturalism is both unique and shocking: Symons’s novel calls for the reintegration of the nation through the act of trans-cultural sodomy, described in the mystical-erotic idiom of the newly unified Canadian man.
