Description
Edited by Nicholas Laughlin with Nailah Folami Imoja, with an introduction by Marlon James, winner of the 2015 Man Booker Prize.
Collecting new fiction, essays and poems from seventeen countries around the world, So Many Islands brings us stories about love and protest, about childhood innocence and the traumas of history, about leaving home and trying to go home again. These writers’ island homes may seem remote on the map, but there is nothing isolated about their compelling, fresh voices.
“It takes a big mind, or at least a big worldview, to write from a small space. Everything we write stands one foot on land, the other in the sea. We can’t help it: we’re from where the air is clear, so it’s almost impossible to think small.”
— Marlon James
