Take Me To Paradise, published by Saritaksu Editions
Marilyn wakes up one morning and instead of catching the bus to work, catches the ‘I don’t like Mondays’ flight to Bali. But is she too late to indulge her paradise dream? Has post-bomb, post-Schapelle, Bali, become a cliché just like Marilyn? How many western women have arrived before her and fallen headlong, for the lush green island, its exotic culture and their attractive driver?
Set in the artisan hill town of Ubud, between bomb one and bomb two, Jan Cornall’s witty and insightful fictional memoir explores notions of paradise and a modern woman’s quest for meaning and passion in a post 9/11 world.
Launched at Ubud Writers Festival 2006.
Archipelagogo, published by Saritaksu Editions.
Archipelagogo is a collection of poems, songs and stories, penned during Jan's travels around the Indonesian Archipelago in the decade 2004 - 2013.
Many of these love-song-poems about people, places and the complexities of cross cultural relationships, have been spoken and sung (acapella - archipela) to intimate audiences at literary festivals in the Asia Pacific: Ubud Writers Festival, Utan Kayu Literary Biennale, Darwin's Wordstorm, Braidwood's Two Fires Festival, St Kilda Writers Festival, Hong Kong International Literary Festival, Makassar Literary Festival.
This beautifully presented book published by Saritaksu Editions, is illustrated with painting by Indonesian artist Jumaadi and was launched with a cabaret performance of the songs and poems by Jan at Bar Luna, during Ubud Writers & Readers Festival in October 2013.
