The Fruit Machine: Twenty Years of Writings on Queer Cinema.

(312 p.; ISBN 0822324334; 0822324687)
Collection of film reviews and essays written by Waugh for a variety
of publications over approximately the previous twenty years. Broader
geographically than focus of this bibliography. However, numerous
references
to Montreal, where the author is a professor at Concordia University.
User should also see, especially, two
Canadian-focussed
pieces – “Two Great Gay Filmmakers: Hello and Good-Bye,” pp. [195]-
207, concerning Norman McLaren and Claude Jutra (author describes
these men as “the two great queer filmmakers from my adopted hometown
Montreal”) and “Archeology and Censorship,” pp. [272]-26, examining
publishing difficulties. See also the “Selected Additional Works [of
Waugh]” section, pp. [297]-298, listing articles and books, some of
which, as compiler judged appropriate, are given separate entry in this
bibliography. Other entries, including that for one of Waugh’s major
works, Hard to Imagine, have not been included here on basis of inclusion
criteria. The researcher in geographically broader glbt issues will, though,
certainly want to consider these works.
