Stephens Gerard Malone is a queer writer born in Ontario, now living in Nova Scotia. His first novel was published under a pseudonym in 1994, 10 years after he started writing it while attending Concordia University. Since then, he's explored subjects ranging from war-torn Europe to Victorian elephants to mid-century Halifax. His novel of rural angst, Miss Elva, was shortlisted for the Dartmouth Book Award, and his novel of 1930s Germany, I Still Have a Suitcase in Berlin, has been translated into French. In The Unnameable, Malone returned to his childhood on CFB Rockcliffe, an air force base once located in Ottawa, in an exploration of masculinity and sexuality, shame and secrets, during the turbulent years between Expo 67 and the 1970 October Crisis, when who you loved determined how, or if, you lived.
