Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Island is only an island when the ocean allows it. September 2001. Jets cut low over Galveston, and a young woman named Amy Smart-newly arrived, newly unmoored-finds herself adopted by an East End neighborhood that remembers its own history the way bodies remember storms. Across Formica tables and front porches, over biscuits and gumbo, Amy is drawn into a Gulf Coast world where faith and skepticism drink from the same glass, where queer nightlife and old money share the same humidity, and where the dead are never quite done speaking. THE ISLAND ONLY AN ISLAND WHEN THE OCEAN ALLOW IT is a literary comedy set on a Texas island that runs on gossip, grace, and catastrophe-part social satire, part love letter to found family, and part haunted odyssey through a city built on sand, memory, and desire.Place-as-character: Galveston's seawall, ghosts, heat, and historyFound family: neighbors who feed you, friends who save you, communities that claim youQueer life with teeth: bars, books, longing, and the comedy of performanceMagical realism: the strange hospitality of the island-and of the deadFor readers who like their literary fiction intelligent, unruly, and alive. Contains mature themes and adult language. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
