Delayed Paradise

Magdalena Zchokke

She rowed on, barely lifting her oars so the water wouldn't drip. She found she was holding her breath and forced herself to exhale with every pull of the oars. The dark shape grew and the moment of decision came inexorably closer.


In Delayed Paradise everyone is searching for home, seemingly displaced by their ethnicity or their sexual identity. The hapa, the emigrant, the sailor, the queer. Are they simply people at the margin of society, or is their quest for a community the model of our future? What happens when the demands of love, loyalty, and belonging clash, when the choice becomes an either/or decision?


For Mara, Olivia, and Zoë, facing a deadly hurricane offshore would seem a relief after the complications of relationships and allegiances.
