The Man Who Loved Islands by D.H. Lawrence.. "even islands like to keep each other company" The Man Who Loved Islands is a haunting story of a man who tries to control his life by making his world ever smaller by moving to increasingly smaller islands. Each one proves to be beyond his ability to control either other people or his sexual desire and finally the last island conquers him. The story can even be seen as a metaphor of man's inexorable march to death when we are all finally alone.
The story is said to have been inspired by the life of Compton Mackenzie.
