Items related to The Eighth Continent
Focusing on the persistence of personal memory amid political and historical upheaval, the tales in The Eighth Continent portray the impact of the broad political and historical events on individual lives, success in the face of low expectations and the humor that redeems everyday struggles. Populating the stories are engrossing individuals: underground revolutionaries faced with fear of betrayal; a woman who looks back at a massacre she witnessed as a child and the wrenching consequences of this event on her life; a linguist who makes a dangerous trip to a tropical island and finds a language on the verge of extinction; and a young woman in a mental hospital who challenges our perceptions of truth and lies, sanity and insanity.
