In Chatem's Island of the Colorblind, tone-deaf musicians entertain colorblind painters, tongue-less chefs feed stomach-less eaters, side-steppers lead forward thinkers, and empty bottles satisfy thirst-less drinkers.

He has constructed an entire world of contradiction and wonder, using wood and paint.
