365 pages. A public health inspector spends twenty-five frustrating years trying to be of service to his community (Victoria, British Columbia). At fifty he resigns and goes in search of a more satisfying life. He finds it in tropical Northern Queensland. This is his story. It is a novel and an anthology. Essays, verses, short fiction, travel, observations, character sketches. It is the compellingly written, informative, enlightening, thought-provoking, always entertaining experience of a man with intelligence, wit, and humour. The reader will find that she/he is seeing himself and his own community, because this book is not just about a small Canadian city or one corner of the sunny South Pacific. Nor is it just about one man's escape from a frustrating job. It is a forthright assessment of a society in trouble by a man who has a wider view because he deliberately stepped outside.
