Set on the imaginary Caribbean island of Birdland, the novel takes the form of a series of letters from a current resident to an old friend describing the island's seventeenth-century history that brings together the violent Inquisition, the thoughtless extinction of the island's exotic fauna, and the amorous story of the deformed artist-philosopher-inventor Phosphor and his impassioned, obsessional love for the beautiful Extravaganza. \u003ci\u003eThe Jade Cabinet\u003c\/i\u003e, Ducornet's novel that was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, was described by one reviewer as \"Jane Austen meets Angela Carter via Lewis Carroll.\"\u003ci\u003e Phosphor in Dreamland\u003c\/i\u003e can be described as Jonathan Swift meets Angela Carter via Jorge Luis Borges.
