OVERSEAS: stories
Mitchell Hagerstrom
Set in Micronesia on the island of Pohnpei during the 1980s, all five of the stories in OVERSEAS concern mehn wai (foreigners) – some expats, some brief visitors.
Shige, in Same Father, Different Mother, was born on the island before WWII and returns seeking a long lost sister. The story was written as a coda to the pillow book, Miss Gone-overseas. In Under the Flame Tree, Geneva is a short-term contract worker and a contrast to the expats in the next two stories – Field Notes and Blue Damsels – who discover magical sweet-notes in the island culture, something the tourist in Suicide is Timeless does not find soon enough.
