Synopsis
Virgil is the disturbing and timely story of the isolated survivors on Kaane, a fictional Hawaiian island where myth and history converge. The islanders are awaiting the imminent birth of Jan Ito's baby, the first-born of the new time. Virgil is speculative ficiton in the tradition of anti-war writer Bertold Brecht, who concluded Mother Courage with the "Wherever life has not died out, it staggers to its feet again." With power and insight, Morris shows how the human spirit will continue to find meaning under even the most frightening conditions.
