Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
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 Hervé 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.

“An intriguing little novella! Very transportive and meditative, and featured some really interesting intertextual techniques, blurring the lines of fiction, auto biography and critique.”
