Nature Girl
|
| | | Annotation:
Carl Hiassan takes an outlandish ensemble cast, including an obsessive sexual harasser, a failed alligator wrestler, a soulless telemarketer, and the nature girl of the title, Honey Santana, and sends them on a pratfall-filled escapade into the heart of Florida's Everglades. Hiaasen juggles his characters with comic genius, and incorporates his usual theme of environmental conservation into their ribald antics.
| Praise| "Old fans and newcomers alike should delight in Hiaasen's 11th novel...another hilarious Florida romp....While the absurd plot may be less than compelling, Hiaasen's humorous touches and his all-too human characters carry the book to its satisfying close." [Starred review.] 09/18/2006 |
| Author Bio| Carl Hiaasen | | Carl Hiaasen graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in journalism in 1974 and began writing for the Miami Herald in 1976. Since then he has earned a stellar reputation as an investigative reporter, uncovering political corruption, local conspiracies, and drug dealing in South Florida. Nominated for the Pulitzer Prize numerous times for his probing column in the Herald, Hiaasen turned to writing mysteries with "Tourist Season", his debut novel published in 1986. He has continued to write a series of darkly comic novels set in his native Florida, including "Strip Tease", which was made into a film starring Demi Moore and Burt Reynolds. Hiaasen has also dabbled in songwriting, co-writing two songs on Warren Zevon's album "Mutineer". |
