Forget Robinson Crusoe, this witty new retelling is undeniably brilliant
Francesca de Tores' novel "Cast Away" reimagines the true story of Alexander Selkirk, inspiration for "Robinson Crusoe," with witty sophistication and psychological depth. Stranded 400 miles off Chile's coast, Selkirk confronts his troubled past through conversations with speaking animals and biblical erasure poetry. De Tores explores themes of isolation, shame, and redemption with humor reminiscent of Austen.
