Sukkwan Island es una novela corta de David Vann que nos transporta a una isla salvaje en el sur de Alaska, un lugar prácticamente inaccesible y con un clima extremadamente duro. En este escenario, Jim busca reconstruir la relación con su hijo adolescente, Roy. Tras varios fracasos personales, la oportunidad de pasar un año en una cabaña aislada parece ser la solución para recuperar el tiempo perdido. Sin embargo, la dureza de la vida en la isla y el deterioro de Jim, frágil y depresivo, transforman rápidamente el viaje en una pesadilla. Con una maestría inusual, Vann explora las profundidades del alma humana, construyendo una historia de suspense y angustia casi insoportables.
