“This ecosystem here in LA for small independent presses must be just thriving,” says Peyton. “Because everyone wanted to come out.” A fair question, considering I accidentally ended up with a stack of books this tall, far too many for the few days I was away. Out of these, most I brought, several I bought atOne of those is a Kindle so imagine that stack about 25 times taller.
Cal Flyn’s work of globe-trotting investigative nonfiction, “Islands of Abandonment: Nature Rebounding in the Post-Human Landscape,” when it was published last year. A 2019 MacDowell fellow, she was named the 2021 Young Writer of the Year by London’s Sunday Times. With the book now out in paperback, the Scottish author and journalist was kind enough to answer our questions while traveling.
“Islands of Abandonment” was one of those books that just seemed to fall together. Everything about these abandoned places seemed to me freighted with ethical ambiguity. They became, unexpectedly, sources of hope rather than despair. The cattle themselves caused me no issues but I found the atmosphere of the island very frightening. There are around nine houses, in various states of disrepair. Some have filled with slurry from the cattle. Others are filled with skeletons. I slept upstairs in the best-preserved building, but was kept awake by the movement of large birds in the eaves — they sounded just like humans, walking around.
I was there to write about nearby Slab City, the anarchist community that has grown up on an old military base nearby, which in its Mad Max stylings seemed to me to offer a dystopian glimpse of the future. But it also drew me into reflecting upon the role of algal blooms and hydrogen sulfide in the worst-case scenarios of climate change.
