Target audience: This story is ideally suited to high school or college students studying English literature or philosophy and lends itself to classroom or group discussion. Weaving together fantasy, satire, and philosophy, and using the bar world as a backdrop, Paradise Island explores the topic of human nature and shows the folly in believing that we can control our own human nature.
“A delectable dish of human foible, served with parsnips baked in irony oil, all topped with a sprinkling of satire-roasted fennel seeds.” —Justin Hurwitz, Editor, The Harvard Lampoon
