Whether embarking on a bizarre quest to find Cecil Rhodes’s missing nose (sliced off the bust of the Rhodes Memorial) or bike-packing the Scottish islands with a couple of squabbling anarchists; whether learning to surf (much too late) in the wild, freezing waters off the Cape Peninsula or navigating the fraught politics of a Buddhist retreat centre – the author explores forgotten utopias, intentional communities and islands of imagination with curiosity, hope and humour.
Threaded through the pieces in this collection are questions of friendship and human community, of environmental destruction and repair, of landscape and memory. Show Me the Place investigates the deep human desire to imagine social and environmental alternatives to what we take as normal or inevitable.
