About this product

Product Information

The author let his imagination loose on various places where he spent time in the course of an extended cruise around the Atlantic. In the course of the resulting yarns, he works through preoccupations that have dogged him since the 1960s, to do with the amazing possibilities coupled with apparently self-destructive proclivities of our techlogical age, and the challenges this poses to his catholic Christian faith. 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 techlogy, to a Breton island struggling to survive nuclear disaster, and to ather instance of contemporary degradation in the Orico Delta in Venezuela. Though the hero and much else are lost, we find our way to ather imaginary island and ather new start there, in the vicinity of the Spanish Virgin Islands.
