Brian Francis is a Canadian writer. His 2004 novel Fruit was selected for inclusion in the 2009 edition of Canada Reads, where it was championed by novelist and CBC Radio personality Jen Sookfong Lee.[1] It finished the competition as the runner-up, making the last vote against the eventual winner, Lawrence Hill's The Book of Negroes. Published by ECW Press, Fruit is the story of Peter Paddington, a teenager living in Sarnia. Overweight, gay and a social outsider, Paddington regularly retreats into an active fantasy life which includes his own nipples talking to him, and the novel traces his journey toward self-acceptance.[1] The novel was well-received by critics, with Entertainment Weekly referring to the novel as "sweet, tart, and forbidden in all the right places."[2] Francis' second novel, Natural Order, will be published by Doubleday Canada at the end of August, 2011. The novel tells the story of a mother coming to terms with the death of her adult son.[3] Francis, who is gay,[4] has also worked as a marketing coordinator for the Toronto newspapers Xtra! and NOW.
