Fiskadoro by Denis Johnson

4.0

Denis Johnson is a perfect kind of writer to tackle a postapocalyptic tropical landscape, and this delivers well. There's a mystic, mythic element of Fiskadoro and the other characters that was beautifully wrought alongside what might be called more naturalistic postapocalyptic landscapes. The story is a little shaggy and doesn't quite deliver on what it winds itself up to be, but there are enough transporting passages to make the short book worth a thoughtful read.
