THE STORY: In SUNSTROKE, a pudgy, eager Peace Corpsman arrives to take over the duties at a Pacific island, replacing an eccentric couple who have apparently turned the outpost into an antebellum Southern plantation. Humor and fantasy mingle as the well-educated, young native he first encounters turns himself into a grinning, shuffling “darkie” at the others’ arrival.
