Abstract

This article, in an essayistic approach, begins with a discussion on deserted and unknown islands, by the French Philosopher Gilles Deleuze, in order to propose relations between literature and medicine. Among literary and academic research examples, we have highlighted the potencies and the possibilities of this relatively new theoretical field of narrative medicine, as if it were an invitation to the quest for something new, still to come. We have addressed an issue that goes beyond the moral guidelines and even ethics, in order to promote, aesthetically, the flows to the direction of what is not here yet.
