FLORIDA ON THE BOIL: RECOMMENDED NOVELS AND SHORT-STORY COLLECTIONS SET IN THE SUNSHINE STATE
Intended for the general reading public as well as librarians, students, and teachers, Florida on the Boil provides incisive reviews of more than 300 recommended novels and short-story collections set in Florida, a unique subtropical peninsula that is as much a state of mind as it is a state of America. Approximately 300 other pertinent titles are cited or briefly described within the reviews. Numerous Florida fiction writers, past and present, are represented in the book, including such diverse talents as Edna Buchanan, Harry Crews, Connie May Fowler, James W. Hall, Rubylea Hall, Ernest Hemingway, Carl Hiaasen, Zora Neale Hurston, Ellen Call Long, John D. MacDonald, Susan Carol McCarthy, Donn Pearce, Theodore Pratt, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, Patrick D. Smith, Randy Wayne White, and Constance Fenimore Woolson. Their stories often bring the Sunshine State and its people alive in ways textbooks and fact-bound studies cannot.
Florida on the Boil also contains an introductory discussion concerning the nature and history of Florida fiction and concludes with a selected bibliography and detailed index. Caricatures of various Florida writers that appear on the bookâs cover and throughout the text are the work of David OâKeefe, an award-winning illustrator for the Tampa Tribune, one of Floridaâs largest daily newspapers.
