Planet or satellite, refuge or prison, condemnation or promise of a fresh start. What is an island, but a mini-continent? Are islands as finite and self-contained as we may wish to believe? "L'île, c'est d'abord le voyage vers l'île." Hervé Hamon invites us to journey from island to island alphabetically, or haphazardly, following the whim of countless winds with ancient, musical names. In this podcast we begin from Isla de Chiloé, Patagonia, soon returning to the Mediterranean. Crete, Ikaría. Ithaca isn't in the book, for some reason. Malta is, for the wrong reasons. We'll also hear a little poetry by the late Oliver Friggieri, Odysséas Elytis, Karl Schembri, and music by Theodorákis. Allons-y. Prenons le large, et l'étroit.
