Our Island of Epidemics

Matthew Salesses

4.3/5 ( ratings)

Fourteen tiny tales recount the story of a community of island dwellers who catch their island’s strange and fleeting epidemics—epidemics like memory loss, unrequited love, magic, extrasensitive hearing, talking to animals, and dissociation—and the relationship that the people of the island have with their home, with each other, and with the diseases. That is, until one man becomes immune.

Told in the collective first-person, Our Island of Epidemics examines the nature of tale-telling when the audience for the tale includes the tellers themselves.

Pages: 40
