Arena Magazine 101

Aug 2009

Abstract:

I was struck by Nonie Sharp’s article ‘Listening to Voices that Touch the Heart’ (‘Arena Magazine’ no. 100), which highlighted the way a reading of Rob Hopkins’ ‘The Transition Handbook’ and George Turner’s novel ‘The Sea and the Summer’ had specifically ‘touched’ her. Turner’s book is a fictional record of environmental disaster and Hopkins’ handbook is presented as a panacea to avert any such real dilemma.
