[Signed] [First Edition] Net Loss: A Florida Commercial...

As new condition white cloth boards with blue front cover and spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Preface by Jon Ward, Director of Cultural Affairs, St. Lucie County, Florida; and About the Author and Artist. Illustrated with paintings and drawings by Philip S. Steel. Signed by the author, Evelyn Wilde Mayerson with black pen on the first title page. Unpaginated. "Performed across the entire State of Florida as a unique combination of a one-man monodrama and a traveling art exhibit, Net Loss set tongues wagging about it's controversial theme: the banning of certain types of net fishing in Florida and the staggering effect the ban had on generations of fishing families. It also broke ground as an innovative partnership between a dramatist and a painter, with both disciplines sharing equal billing in the production. Net Loss also focuses on a larger issue, the issue of art as social mentator. Although the net ban had taken effect several years prior to writer Evelyn Wilde Mayerson and artist Philip S. Steel's groundbreaking partnership, the frustration felt by fishermen fairly roiled just below the surface of their feelings. Net Loss gave a voice to those who had virtually given up on ever having a public forum to express their disjoining sense of loss and helplessness. Although the production did not take an advocates position on either side of the question, the audience was treated to a sympathetic examination of one fictional fisherman's take on what had happened to him and many of his friends. Here, then, is Net Loss, reduced to it's true essence. Evocative words and interpretive paintings that draw the reader down to the docks, the fish houses and boats of a changing breed of people who's lives depend on a natural resource in a world not controlled by nature." - from the inner front jacket flap ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Evelyn Wilde Mayerson is the author of eight novels, three works of non-fiction and three plays including, Marjory, the story of environmentalist Marjory Stoneman Douglas, which was commissioned by the Coconut Grove Playhouse. Mayerson, Professor Emeritus of the University of Miami, is a Florida native and also the author of children's books. Breathing life into the words of a grizzled fisherman [with respect to Net Loss], the author once again successfully captures a world that few others experience. An accomplished playwright and novelist, Mayerson lives in Vero Beach, Florida.
