Divided Island is the story of a woman with a neurological
disorder. The day she goes in for an encephalogram, which will
diagnose her cerebral dysrhythmia, she finds herself splitting in
two. One of the two women she becomes decides to travel to an
island to take her own life; the other remains behind and follows
the trail of her suicidal other half. The focus of this non-linear
novel is not the sequence of events, but the writing used to
describe those events in brief chapters and fragments. Divided
Island is a novel, but it is best read as a poetic experience,
because the text’s importance lies not in the plot but in how its
language is crafted into a collection of scenes, moments, memories,
dreams, and images the gradually coalesce into the story of a life
told from a singular location: a way of perceiving and describing
the world, guided by dysrhythmia.
