   Fiskadoro by Denis Johnson is a post-apocalyptic novel set in the aftermath of a nuclear war that has decimated the world. The story takes place in the Florida Keys and Cuba, where the remaining pockets of civilization struggle to survive in primitive living conditions. Through vivid characters like Fiskadoro, Mr. Cheung, and Grandmother Wright, the author explores themes of knowledge, art, religion, race, and family in a world where history is lost or distorted, and the past is a distant memory. Johnson's writing immerses the reader in a world where connections to the past are limited, and daily life is a struggle for survival and understanding.
