Edinburgh, 2014. Two writer friends, Damaris and Oliver Pablo, escape London,
the city that killed his brother. They spend their days trying to get to the
library, bickering over their tanking bitcoin, failing to write or resist the
sadness. Then they meet Diego, a poet. He tells them he is named for his
mother's island in the Chagos Archipelago, which she and her community were
forced to leave by British soldiers in 1973. Damaris and Oliver Pablo become
obsessed with this notorious episode and the continuing resistance of the
Chagossian people, and want to write in solidarity. But how to share a story
that is not theirs to tell? And how to account for a loss not theirs to grieve?
A tragicomedy interrogating the powers of literature alongside the crimes of the
British government, Diego Garcia is a collaborative fiction that opens up
possibilities for the novel and seeks other ways of living together.
