Its 1956 and Lola arrives on the
island of Ibiza, on the fringes of Francos Spain, with little more than a Spanish phrasebook. Soon she meets a fascinating American photographer who falls in and out of focus: is he really a photographer, and who exactly is the German doctor he keeps asking her about? The mysterious doctor, when he appears, takes Lola for a picnic on a salt island, where she learns how easily the world can be obscured. Salt Picnic is about mistranslation, fantasy and the historical echoes of ideology, by the author of Gifted and The Back of His Head. Featured in the 16 October 2017 New Zealand / Pasifika Newsletter.
