Description

Diego Garcia A Novel by Natasha Soobramanien and Luke Williams is a collaborative fiction that explores the complexities of literature and the crimes of the British government. In 2014, two writer friends escape London, seeking solace in their writing, but instead find themselves drawn to the story of Diego, a poet whose name is inspired by his mother's island in the Chagos Archipelago. As they delve deeper into this notorious episode, Damaris and Oliver Pablo become obsessed with sharing a story that is not theirs to tell. They grapple with how to account for a loss not theirs to grieve, and their writing becomes a way of navigating these difficult questions. This tragicomedy raises important questions about the powers of literature and its relationship to the world around us. Through this collaborative novel, Soobramanien and Williams open up possibilities for the genre and explore new ways of living together.
