Synopsis Review by Chisato Hara About the Author Launch at Lamak Australian writer finds her creative renaissance in Bali Cross-cultural arts collaboration Singer strikes gold in Bandung The Art of Learning by Doing by Sarita newson Calon Arang by Toeti Heraty Butterflies of Bali By Victor Mason Against All Odds By Idanna Pucci Illustrated by A.A. Made Djelantik	By Jan Cornall Photography and design by Saritaksu 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, Bali, between bomb one and bomb two, Jan Cornall’s witty and insightful performance prose novel, explores notions of paradise and a modern woman’s quest for meaning and passion in a post 9/11 world. Marilyn finds her paradise. But is she prepared for the demands paradise will make of her? *Comments on Jan's novel:* “Performance writer Jan Cornall’s fine observations and humorous monologues read like a theatre piece, film script and novel rolled into one. The atmosphere she creates is so vibrant you almost expect her characters to burst into song.” - Alison Nancye, Mermaid Books. “Jan Cornall describes the dilemma of the modern western woman; free, independent and alone before her time. It’s not surprising that her character Marilyn, finds herself in Bali’s spiritual and sensual haven, searching for something more. A delightful read.” - Jannie Higginson "Jan Cornall can always be found leading the charge into the minefield of comedy about contemporary sexual and social mores." - Wendy Harmer Specifications: Take Me to Paradise by Jan Cornall, design and publishing by Saritaksu Editions 2006, ISBN: 9791173-00-1, Soft cover with flaps, 116 pages, 290 mm x 145 mm.
