Trapdoor

This is the quiet threshold into The Apocalypse According to Iona. Each chapter opens not only onto its scenes and sentences, but into a separate space of reflection where their images, motifs, and contradictions are allowed to linger.

Begin where you like. Each entry below leads to a chapter and to Fernaldo Nikhto’s ongoing notes on the themes that surface there.

Wishing to fish for men, he was swallowed by the Fish

On this chapter’s page, scenes of pursuit and reversal are set against reflections on calling, obedience, and misrecognition. Notes and marginalia follow the currents of Iona’s first descent.

Further chapters will appear here as they are opened for reflection. Each will carry its own portal into the world of The Apocalypse According to Iona and into the threads of Fernaldo Nikhto’s continuing work.
