Forget Robinson Crusoe, this witty new retelling is undeniably brilliant
Francesca de Tores' novel "Cast Away" reimagines the true story of Alexander Selkirk, the castaway who inspired Daniel Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe." Stranded 400 miles from Chile's coast, Selkirk converses with animals and creates an erasure poem from a Bible as he confronts guilt over wronging his lover Effie. De Tores delivers witty, sophisticated storytelling that explores redemption and isolation.
