Greenland: A Novel—The Bahamas

Hello, hello, Homo legens,

Here we are exploring other B corners of the world!

With a population of just half a million, the Bahamas has a relatively small literary scene. Bahamian writer David Santos Donaldson’s novel was shortlisted for the 2023 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction.

Greenland: A Novel is a dazzling, debut novel-within-a-novel in the vein of The Prophets and Memorial, about a young author writing about the secret love affair between E.M. Forster and Mohammed el Adl—in which Mohammed’s story collides with his own, blending fact and fiction.

Happy summer reading!
