Joey Comeau (born September 26, 1980) is a Canadian writer. He is best known for writing the text of the webcomic ''A Softer World'', and for his novels ''Lockpick Pornography'' and ''Overqualified''. ==Career== Comeau's work is difficult to classify by genre. Of his eight books, two are comic collections, one is a "genderqueer adventure story", one is an experimental novel told through job application letters, two are collections of short stories, and two are horror. In 2003, Comeau co-created the webcomic ''A Softer World'' with Emily Horne. His first novel, ''Lockpick Pornography'', was serialized on the ''A Softer World'' site prior to publication in book form by Loose Teeth Press. Excerpts from his novel Overqualified were included in the 2010 ''Best American Nonrequired Reading''. The first 20 chapters of his novel ''One Bloody Thing After Another'' were serialized on the National Post's book blog〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=One Bloody Thing After Another )〕 and the book was nominated for the 2010 Shirley Jackson Award.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2010 Shirley Jackson Award nominees )〕 ''One Bloody Thing After Another'' was also nominated for the 2011 ReLit Awards.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2011 ReLit Award Shortlist )〕 In 2012 a sequel to Lockpick Pornography titled We All Got It Coming, was released for free on the Internet before being published together with the original in The Complete Lockpick Pornography. His writing often includes themes such as homophobia, life after death, and realistic portrayals of sex. Many of his characters struggle with identity. This manifests as characters with fluid gender identities and sexual orientations as well as characters who put themselves in dangerous situations on purpose. Much of his work is sex positive, including descriptions of safe, consensual intercourse that are nonetheless very passionate. His collection of short stories, The Girl Who Couldn't Come is described as "a book where sex is fun and good and people are kind to each other." He lists his influences as including Morley Callaghan, Hunter S. Thompson, and Tupac. There is a Tupac quotation at the beginning of Lockpick Pornography. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joey Comeau」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
