In the tumult of the pandemic, a writer hopes the quarantine might provide the space to finally complete a decades-old project on her travels throughout Latin America. But an unexp ected disease suddenly clouds her eyes. Poetic, inventive, introspective, Between the Island and the Turtle follows the author's shifts in vision from past to present, shedding light on what it is to witness suffering, questioning how literature might help us bear it.
