The Cowkeeper's Wish
In the 1840s, a young cowkeeper and his wife arrive in London, England, having walked from coastal Wales with their cattle. They hope to escape poverty, but instead they plunge deeper into it, and the family, ensconced in one of London’s “black holes,” remains mired there for generations. The Cowkeeper’s Wish follows the couple’s descendants in and out of slum housing, bleak workhouses and insane asylums, through tragic deaths, marital strife and war. Nearly a hundred years later, their great-granddaughter finds herself in an altogether different London, in southern Ontario. In The Cowkeeper’s Wish, Kristen den Hartog and Tracy Kasaboski trace their ancestors’ path to Canada, u...
Mirrorcity
To accompany the Hayward Gallery exhibition of the same name, Booker Prize nominated writer Tom McCarthy edits a unique newspaper about the realities (and unrealities) of London. Patrick Kieller claimed in his 1994 film London that the city had disappeared, lost amongst the sprawling generations of its inhabitants.The city's consciousness has dissipated, its identity vanishing before our eyes. Just as the role of the print newspaper edges closer to the void, McCarthy seeks to explore the current, 'felt' realities of a place in a form that is on the verge of obsolescence.Going beyond the concept of definite roles and functions MIRRORCITY explores and celebrates the themes of reality, identity...

Deeds/abstracts
Before his tragic death in 1992, Greg Curnoe had submitted to Brick Books a manuscript based on extraordinarily detailed research into the history of 38 Weston, his address in London, Ontario. The result is a journal/collage that traces the occupancy of that one small plot of land hundreds of years back into aboriginal times when land in this country was not plotted according to the laws of geometry. Deeds/Abstracts is an intensely concentrated and particular cross-section of Canadian history, layer upon layer upon layer. Brick Books is proud to offer this exemplary work-in-progress (a 500-year diary can never be complete) assembled by a much-loved and keenly-lamented Canadian artist of the first importance. Greg Curnoe was born in London in 1936. He was a founder of the Nihilist Spasm Band, the Forest City Gallery, and Region magazine. Front and back covers are after paintings by Greg Curnoe. The text includes 12 colour plates of photographs and Curnoe paintings.
