The Disappearing Shore

Inspired by the discovery that many leading environmentalists now believe we've passed the point of no return, Roberta Park set out to write her own account of our fears and responsibilities at this extraordinary point in human history. But instead of taking the usual nonfiction route, she chose to examine our deep moral quandary in an enigmatic three-part novella. The Disappearing Shore imagines what might happen if the nice environmentalist next door finally snapped and started telling the truth-the real truth about his overwhelming guilt, rage, and fear. From there it gives a voice to others who join him in a desperate bid to save their corner of the world, while providing an account of our recklessness for those destined to pick up the pieces. From the confessions of today's unlikely heroes-full of candour and dark humour-The Disappearing Shore depicts a much different tomorrow, and the struggle of those determined to continue the human story, with help from mysterious gifts of the past. A cautionary tale that shatters the denial that blinds us to reality, Park weaves her narrative with wry humour, honesty and hope.
