The seclusion of islands has long made them ideal screens for our
fantasies and terrors, choice locations for military and scientific
assays, and perfect settings for escapes, incarcerations and
battles for survival. In consideration of these dynamics, "Cabinet"
38 features Julia Wolcott discussing islands in science fiction;
Jeffrey Kastner on being marooned; Janet Connelly on West Berlin as
an island; Simon Rezak on island penal colonies; the story of the
"Chinese Princess" Der Ling, a onetime student of Isadora Duncan
who set up court on a Mexican island in the 1920s; and an artist
project by Jeremy Drummond. Off-the-island treasures include
Anthony Grafton on the Last Supper's culinary legacy; Aaron
Schuster on cinematic sneezes; Jonathan Hardy on the Spanish urban
grid; Maggie Nelson on the color red; George Pendle on the first
computer dating system; Allen S. Weiss on Japanese garden design;
and an artist project by Alejandro Cesarco.
