100% Pure Florida Fiction An Anthology

This anthology of modern Florida fiction showcases the work of 21 writers, including such literary lights as Frederick Barthelme, Alison Lurie, Jill McCorkle, Peter Meinke, & Joy Williams, as well as that of new & emerging writers. Sifting through over 600 stories in books, magazines, literary journals, & the internet, the editors selected the best Florida fiction of the century's last decades. What these stories have in common, of course, is a Florida setting--but a Florida so strongly evoked that it is more character than place. In these stories Florida is sinister, full of alligators, creeping plants, heavy clouds, noir cops & con-men; it is the surreal spread of theme parks, condominiums, & strip malls; & it is a paradise--lost, regained, & remembered--of sea, sun, hammock, forest, & glade. 100% Pure Florida Fiction is the perfect literary companion for Florida travels, armchair & actual, from the Panhandle to Key West & a dozen places in between. & it is proof that Florida is the stuff good stories are made of.Hubbard, Susan is the author of '100% Pure Florida Fiction An Anthology' with ISBN 9780813017525 and ISBN 0813017521.
