  text: The essay focuses on individual and collective forms of liminality in John
    Marlyn’s Under the Ribs of Death. Set in early twentieth-century Winnipeg, the
    1957 immigrant novel explores liminal experiences related to ethnic identity,
    male sexuality, social class, urban spaces and turbulent economic times. As the
    son of a poor working-class family from Hungary, Sandor Hunyadi makes every effort
    to become a true Canadian and a successful businessman, but, no matter how hard
    he tries to overcome contemporary ethnic prejudices and economic hardships, his
    personal and professional life remains in liminality. In other words, the protagonist
    undergoes separation, fails at incorporation, and becomes stuck in transition.
