"Praise for In the Defense of Liberty ""A sleepy campus in Ohio. Summer of '64. Mingus, the Beatles, Nightwood, the fever dream of Goldwater, late night student conversations--all in the sights of gun culture. Unforgettable characters navigate acceptance, intimacy, and regenesis. In the Defense of Liberty captures an in-real-time state of being for trans and gender-curious folks (and all of us who love them). It is brave. And it is breathtaking."" LINDA SVENDSEN, author of Marine Life, Sussex Drive, and Peabody Award winner for Human Cargo ""Fast-paced and intimate, personal and political, queer and beautiful?just like the gorgeously drawn ensemble cast, truth and memory must sweat it out under the relentless Ohio sun. The kind of storytelling that pushes the boundaries of what a historical novel can be and leaves you wondering what history itself is."" CARRIE JENKINS, author of Victoria Sees It and Sad Love ""In the Defense of Liberty continues and deepens the meditation on American masculinity and its discontents that has informed so much of Maillard's work."" VANCOUVER SUN ""In the Defense of Liberty is not only untethered to its era, it is a fine example of a contemporary view from a historical perspective - the seeds we sowed then are the seeds we still sow now. The stacking of visions is powerful."" BC REVIEW Praise for Keith Maillard ""[A] work of terrible beauty and grace, a masterpiece fit to contend with the best novels of the last century."" GLOBE AND MAIL ""Maillard is a national treasure."" KIRKUS ""Keith Maillard's books changed my life. They made me want to write, and to be a writer."" DAVE BIDINI ""Keith Maillard is one of the finest English-language novelists in Canada today."" VANCOUVER SUN"
