Not really a novel, more a related collection of short-stories tied together with the theme of an imaginary groups of islands and presented as a gazetteer. The narrative is fairly fractured as a result but there are some terrific gems; and some of the threads introduced at various times come and go, never being wholly resolved. Some of the inventiveness create ideas or scenes or bizarre imaginary works of art of such power they almost become memories or real events. Exceptional!
