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.","lang":"eng"}],"publist_id":"6909","date_updated":"2021-01-12T08:13:49Z","type":"book_chapter","extern":1,"page":"91 - 100","status":"public","year":"2017","publisher":"Peter Lang GmbH","day":"01","editor":[{"full_name":"Brandt, Stefan L.","first_name":"Stefan","last_name":"Brandt"}],"date_published":"2017-12-01T00:00:00Z","citation":{"short":"B.
