Minor handling wear, book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. -- Retired from life as a commercial fishing skipper and sailing around the North Atlantic in his fifties, besides following whales to the Cape Verde islands and dolphins up to the Orinoco, Joe Aston also found the opportunity to delve into his own imagination. Enmeshed in these sea-faring yarns is an ambitious attempt to come to terms with some of the most profound quandaries of our times. -- The author let his imagination loose on various places where he spent time in the course of an extended cruise around the Atlantic. Wavedancing tells the story of some islanders and seafarers who inhabit or come upon an idyllic island utopia. The story is worked through in differing contexts, from its imaginary primal location in Pulawayo, to a fishing community in Ireland that is ravaged by the impact of modern technology, to a Breton island struggling to survive nuclear disaster, and to another instance of contemporary degradation in the Orinoco Delta in Venezuela. Though the hero and much else are lost, we find our way to another imaginary island and another new start there, in the vicinity of the Spanish Virgin Islands., Books<
