The paper analyses Friedrich Christian Delius' story Der Spaziergang von Rostock nach Syrakus (1995) in the context of island discourses and the discursive construction of insular spaces. It argues that, in a satirical adaptation of Seume's Stroll to Syracuse (1803), Delius reconceptualises the Mediterranean island of Sicily as the traditional place of longing in German travel literature since the 18th century by contrasting it to the political 'island' of the GDR. He constructs the socialist state as a place of yearning and develops a counter-discourse to the established European island imaginary.
