Not Really An Acronym

The Atlas of Remote Islands is kicking around our office and it’s absolutely magical. Each of the 50 beautiful maps faces a story about the depicted island, like this one for Rapa Iti:

In a small town in the foothills of the Vosges, a six-year-old boy is visited by dreams in which he is taught a completely unknown language. Little Marc Liblin soon speaks this language fluently without knowing where it comes from or whether it even really exists.  … In a bar in Rennes, Marc Liblin gives a solo performance, holding a monologue in front of a group of Tunisians. The barkeeper, a former navy man, interrupts and says he has heard this tongue before, on one of the most remote Polynesian islands.

The ending of the story, which we won’t spoil, is even more remarkable than all this.
