The movie “Little Big Man,” impressed me a lot. I love it. But it got me to thinking of all the wonderful roles Dustin Hoffman brought to life on the big screen, and as I was going through all of those roles, from Ben Braddock in “The Graduate,” to Ratso Rizzo in “Midnight Cowboy” and Louis Dega in “Papillon,” and Michael Dorsey in “Tootsie,” that I could combine all of those roles into one film. So an already silly story became even sillier. I even worked in a portion of “Rain Man.” I hope you will get as much pleasure reading it as I had in writing it.

Taken from the castaway's own journals and memoirs, and fact-checked by Lovecraft himself, it is free from many of Defoe's edits and alterations. From Lovecraft's work a much smoother, simpler tale emerges - but also a far more disturbing one.
