Two writers sail to Patmos to search for a lost portrait of the cult French writer Herve Guiber, discovering They discover an island in denial of the global turmoil surrounding it, from the refugees interned on nearby Samos to the fascists rising in Europe and America. On the Greek island of Patmos, where St. John received the Book of Revelation, two writers find themselves mired in an uneasy sense of timelessness, where history and the present jumble together. As they hunt for a lost portrait of the iconic gay novelist Herve Guibert, they discover that the island's insistent isolation from the global catastrophe surrounding it, from the refugees interned on nearby Samos to the fascist rise in Europe and the United States, is more pose than reality. | Skyland by Andrew Durbin, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
