In the spirit of Foe, a story about this book... I bought this book at a recent $5 A Bag book sale at the library. Having walked away with 4 bags of books, it seemed like a pretty successful sale in and of itself. However, fate intervenes (dun dun DUN) and, picking it up to read tonight, I see a very familiar name scrawled in the front cover, a date/locale, and a seal imprinted on the title page. None other than the name of my favorite teacher back in high school and the date of my graduation. A favorite teacher that has since passed away but is sorely missed. Coincidence might be the invention of the storyteller here, but it's a coincidence I'm very happy about.
The book itself was interesting, both as a reinvention of Crusoe and a stand-alone. I was almost expecting a The Yellow Wallpaper twist to come into play. Definitely worth the read.

What an amazing story! I've just finished Ghostwritten which is all about these kind of synchronicities.

@Katie - Ghostwritten looks very interesting. I haven't read much by Mitchell but enjoyed his Bone Clocks immensely. Think I'll be adding Ghostwritten to my TBR.
Wow! I am studying this book in my World literature course, so I was reading the reviews and I came across your story! What an incredible story! I have chills
