Publisher's Synopsis
The follow-up novel to Saving Whales. Where The Fun Is continues to follow the hero's journey of Weston 'West' Walker and his planet-saving tribesmen as they struggle with the impending end of the 'protest decade, ' and their reluctant entrance into the narcissistic new world that would become 1980s America. Love Canal, Three Mile Island, the Weather Underground, the Jonestown Massacre, and whales in danger. Sex, drugs, and rock and roll, Harvey Milk, Iran hostages, gas lines, and malaise. 1978 to 1980 was a narrow corridor, a cultural 'event horizon' leading to a 1980s black hole. This is the story of a group of dedicated adventurers who desperately needed to do something 'macro', to rage against the dimming of the light, to make a great splash before it was all over. Where The Fun Is questions the notion of altruism as selfless. Why does someone join the cause? Who are these people? Where do they go from here? Where do you go when it's all about to blow
