In time for Banned Books Week, The Tigress by Walter Serner is now available and on the way to the distributor. Serner's only novel, it's a nihilistic "love story" where a grifter and an escort team up to scam the casino crowd of the Riviera.

Didn't know Jack Johnson ever came to London.

#Dada connection: as a fugitive from US marriage law, Johnson 'fought' (thrashed) Arthur Cravan in a mismatch put on for a handsome purse, in Barcelona, 1916.
Jack Johnson (1878-1946), boxer & first African American heavyweight world champion 1908. He stayed at Chingford's Royal Forest Hotel in 1911 when training in Epping Forest for prospective match with Billy Wells.

Die Erste Internationale Dada-Messe war eine von Dadaisten organisierte Ausstellung vom 30. Juni - zum 25. August 1920 in Berlin. Die Messe war eine Absage an die bürgerliche Kultur. Sie dokumentierte die künstlerische Kreativität, welche die Dada-Revolte freigesetzt hatte.
