The narrator of one poem says that this man's "journals assume a household use; we learn to shape from them, where nothing was the language of a race."
The narrator of one poem says that this man's "journals assume a household use; we learn to shape from them, where nothing was the language of a race." Gertrude Stein famously planned to write the autobiography of Alice B. Toklas as simply as another man did the autobiography of this man. In a poem, this man christens a mountain "Mont ‘dEspoir or Mount Despair," before dying a baby goat bright red with berries "just to see something a little different." That poem is prompted by this character's musings on a recent ocean volcano eruption and ends by reporting that a museum requested his flute, knife, and goatskin trousers. This character believes that he can stop time by halting his water clock in a novel by Michel Tournier. In a Derek Walcott play, the retired calypso performer Jackson Philip is reluctantly persuaded to play this role in a dramatic production put on by Harry Trewe for the guests of the Castaways Guest House. Susan Barton spends a year living with this man and his (*) tongueless companion before he dies on the voyage home to England after being rescued. Elizabeth Bishop wrote about this man "in England," his story is acted out in Walcott's Pantomime, and he is a major character in J.M. Coetzee's Foe. For 10 points, name this subject of a Daniel Defoe novel.
