"Paradise is an island. So is hell,"
The Atlas of Remote Islands: 50 islands I have never set foot on and never will
written by Judith Schalansky
"The absurdity of reality is lost on the large land masses, but here on the islands, it is writ large. An island offers a stage: everything that happens on it is practically forced to turn into a story, into a chamber piece in the middle of nowhere, into the stuff of literature. What is unique about these tales is that face and fiction con no longer be separate: fact is fictionalized and fiction is turned into fact."
