And Sheryl Cornett interviewed Therese Anne Fowler, author of the novel \u003ci\u003eZ, \u003c\/i\u003e which was adapted into a television series, inspired by Zelda Fitzgerald, one of many celebrities drawn to Asheville, North Carolina.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn an interview with Allan Gurganus, Zackary Vernon asks the writer about political events that put North Carolina \"in the news.\" In his essay, Bland Simpson expresses his concern about the state's water resources and beaches in an era of over-population, deregulation, and climate change denial. To both of these writers, activism on behalf of the state they love is not a choice for any of us. They remind us to protect the places we and vacationers to our state enjoy from those who would selfishly exploit our treasures for immediate profit with little thought for future generations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther essays in the issue examine the evolving ending of Paul Green's \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Colony, \u003c\/i\u003e the first and longest-running outdoor drama in the country; the influence of the Transcendentalists on Elizabeth City newspaperman W.O.
