My Dad Cancelled Christmas!
I first conceived My Dad Cancelled Christmas! in 2005. The central premise - a Dad who loses it on Christmas Eve and cancels the holiday - had my own three children in stitches. The story is narrated by the oldest of the children, a little girl who tells how her Dad had a bad day that grew worse when he arrived home to a house in shambles. The story is cute, hilarious and speaks not only to children, but adults as well. At 26 pages, the book can be read in ten minutes, but is so distinct and amusing that it can be enjoyed for a lifetime. - Sean Casey, Author.

Disavowals: or Cancelled Confessions
Contributions from François Leperlier, Agnès Lhermitte and Jennifer Mundy Memories? Choice morsels My soul is fragmentary —from Disavowals Claude Cahun (1894-1954), born Lucy Schwob, was a poet, performer, resistance fighter, prisoner, Surrealist, "constructor and explorer of objects," photographer, and "queer freak" who invented her life by flaunting the interchangability of roles and playing with the ambivalence of identity. Whether feigning vulnerability on the arm of her lover and stepsister Suzanne Malherbe aka Marcel Moore ("the other me"), making theatrical public appearances in disguise (sailor, gymnast, gypsy), or making herself up (vampire, Buddha, mannequin, angel) for self-portraits and installations, she rendered opposites inoperative and exposed the thinness of gender and power constructs by reducing them to mere surface costumes. In May 1930 Éditions Carrefour of Paris published 500 copies of a book called Aveux non avenus, in which Cahun explored these same dialectics in book form. It is the nearest thing to a memoir Cahun wrote, but in fact the book is an anti-memoir, a critique of autobiography, where she uses subversive photomontages and statements to present herself as a force of genius possessed of the need to resist identification and to maintain within herself "the mania of the exception." Disavowals is the first appearance of that work, widely considered to be her most important text, in English. Reproductions of the original photomontages introduce the various sections, which in turn explore Cahun's distinctive ideas and obsessions—self-interrogation, narcissism, metamorphosis, love, gender-switching, humor, fear. An extensive introduction by Tate curator Jennifer Mundy sets the text in the context of Cahun's life and art. Also included is a translation of the original preface by Cahun's friend Pierre Mac Orlan, a comment by her biographer, François Leperlier, a note on the translation by Susan de Muth, and a postscript by Agnès Lhermitte..

Tokyo Cancelled
Thirteen passengers are stranded at an airport Tokyo, their destination, is covered in snow and all flights are cancelled To pass the night they form a huddle by the silent baggage carousels and tell one another stories. Thus begins Rana Dasgupta's Canterbury Tales for our times. In the spirit of Borges and Calvino, Dasgupta's writing combines an energetically modern landscape with a timeless, beguiling fairy-tale ethos, while bringing to life a cast of extraordinary individuals-some lost, some confused, some happy-in a world that remains ineffable, inexplicable, and wonderful. A Ukrainian merchant is led by a wingless bird back to a lost lover; Robert De Niro's son masters the transubstantiation of matter and turns it against his enemies; a man who manipulates other people's memories has to confront his own past; a Japanese entrepreneur risks losing everything in his obsession with a doll; a mute Turkish girl is left alone in the house of a German man who is mapping the world. Told by people on a journey, these are stories about lives in transit, stories that grow into an epic cycle about the hopes and dreams and disappointments that connect people everywhere. .

Dubai: The Arabian Dream DISTRIBUTION CANCELLED

From palm-frond huts to sumptuous hotels; from remote oases to vast man-made islands, this desert outpost has in just a few years been transformed into a dynamic and cosmopolitan centre of trade, enterprise and--most recently--tourism.
