| To all who pass by, Where gannets fly.... |

| At last, Skipper Joe's novel Wavedancing tells the story of some islanders and seafarers who inhabit or come upon, but loose, an idyllic island utopia. Their loss refers to the lack so widely felt today of a satisfactory context and sense of meaning for life, of relationship with nature and God, and between men and women and even the different sides of our brains. |

| 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. Click here for details. | ||
