Island People, Paperback by Dowell, Coleman, ISBN 1564780937, ISBN-13 9781564780935, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US In this complex novel, a gay man who has fled the violence of the city for an island retreat spends his time keeping a journal and writing stories. He invents a female alter-ego who haunts him, as does the ghost of the murderer who occupied his house in the 19th-century; ultimately these hauntings are manifestations of his own psychic disintegration. Considered by many to be Dowell's finest achievement,Island People conveys the fragmentation that results from prolonged isolation.
