Fiskadoro by Denis Johnson
Set in a post-apocalyptic Florida Keys, the narrative weaves through a world ravaged by nuclear disaster and cultural amnesia. The story centers around a young boy, his music teacher, and their community as they grapple with the remnants of civilization and the myths that have risen in place of forgotten history. Through a blend of surreal encounters and the quest for identity and meaning, the characters navigate a landscape both physically and culturally transformed, where the past is a puzzle to be reconstructed and the future is an unwritten melody.
