My Own Devices: Airport Version is a series of stories in which the main characters, all of whom are named Corey Frost, are left to their own devices in Japan, Brazil, Sumatra, St. Petersburg, Macau, Montreal, New York, and elsewhere, with devices such as phones, cameras, and mini-disc recorders, as well the occasional satirical literary gimmick. This new expanded edition is perfect for reading on an airplane, train, bus, or ferry. It includes new stories from Lesotho, Turkey, and Angkor Wat, as well as new postcard projects, timelines and ephemera.

Fiction. Left to his own devices in real places around the world, the main character of these stories encounters an intractable dramatis personae: wild-eyed watch vendors and dulcet-voiced dead people, ancient opticians and death-metal beauticians, aggressive pigs and recalcitrant ponies, heavy-hearted tour guides and light-fingered taxi drivers, not to mention a wayward company of fellow travellers and correspondents. Along the way he deploys a gamut of gadgets, including some astonishingly inventive literary devices. AIRPORT VERSION is a revised, expanded edition of MY OWN DEVICES, which was shortlisted for the 2003 Quebec Writers Federation Award for Best First Book, as well as the Relit Award for Short Fiction.
