Purporting to be an anonymous memoir found in anattic, its author is an arrogant but brilliant homosexual whose life has crossed with that of Darwin with startling regularity. He is writing it on a small island in the Java Sea of which he is the only human inhabitant.The island has a live volcano and, aware that hislife will soon come to an end, he sets out the true story of the theory of natural selection, confesses a murder of his own, andprovides a fascinating and delightful account of the plants and animals of the now-vanished island.
