"Arthur's Whims" is the tale of "a modern saint," a love story born of a childhood dream of being "alone on a boat with a boy, a friend." Arthur and his beloved Bichon-a young man who, after drinking Arthur's tears, becomes pregnant with his child-drift through a stream of identities and circumstances: birdcatchers for a French taxidermist; sailors shipwrecked in an ice fortress; explorers of the Isles of Traitors, Babies, and Sadness; famous magicians in Oklahoma; religious and medical marvels. It is an anarchic, outrageous novel, in the tradition of Edgar Allan Poe and Comte de Lautréamont, now available in English for the first time in translation by Daniel Lupo. This edition includes Hervé Guibert's essay "The Bear," in which he compares his books to rooms in a house, writing: "Arthur's Whims would be the library of the house, and the bedroom of a child who will never be." It is "a true adventure novel in the tradition of the genre, or what I believed to be its tradition, with great journeys, disasters, shipwrecks, cataclysms."

One day something snaps inside Arthur Gibson, a burnt out forty year old manager tired by his rat race office life, and within one hour he sells everything he owns, flies to the sea, buys a sailboat and drives to the horizon, planning on never coming back.Of course this noble attempt to set himself free goes terribly wrong as the corporate environment didn't exactly prepare Arthur well for an off the grid sailor's life. So however free and independent he now feels, soon his biggest problem is how to survive.His escape becomes an international media sensation thanks to Alice Garbo, an ambitious journalist who makes Arthur and herself famous to boost her career. Millions admire his courage to 'stick it to the man', millions call him a coward. Soon, Alice toys with Arthur's destiny as she pleases, moves him like a chess piece to make his story appealing to the audience. He becomes a wanted felon pursued by Interpol and so he finds himself almost dying on a boat he can't drive, being chased by police for something he didn't do and haunted by a media alter ego that has a life of its own. Arthur has bitten off more than he can chew.Arthur's Choice talks about taking a scary leap of faith when finding one's personal fulfillment without conforming to where society tells you a true happiness is. In today's fast paced, performance oriented first world, this book offers the answer to the question 'what if I just said enough?' The story is for adults struggling to find meaning or joy in mundane unfulfilling jobs, those tired by the contemporary speed of life.

King Arthur as you’ve never seen her! This bold YA novel reimagines the Once and Future King as a queer teenage girl on an epic quest to save the universe. Coming to terms with your identity is always difficult. But for Ari, the 42nd reincarnation of King Arthur, it just got a whole lot more complicated. Gender-bending royalty, caustic wit and a galaxy-wide fight for peace and equality all collide in this epic adventure. With an awkward adolescent Merlin and a rusty spaceship, this is the Arthurian legend as you have never before seen it. ‘A rip-roaring, no holds-barred, gloriously queer reinvention of Arthurian legend.’ Malinda Lo, author of Last Night at the Telegraph Club ‘Utterly compelling, brilliantly witty, and delightfully queer.’ Simon James Green, author of Noah Can't Even
