Author Description

In the late 90s, teenage couple Amy Mason and Eddie Argos (Art Brut) went on holiday to the Isle of Wight. Thirteen years on, they try to make sense of an island, a holiday and relationship that have become absurd in the retelling.Originally a lo-fi musical, The Islanders is brought to life on the page by Steven Horry's gorgeous illustrations, retaining Amy Mason's sharp prose and the enthusiastic and witty lyrics of Eddie Argos. As innovative a publication as its stage equivalent, The Islanders is funny, refreshing and ultimately moving.
