Paradise Screwed

Overview

New York Times-bestselling author Carl Hiaasen takes you on a wide-ranging safari, observing South Florida's wildlife in its natural habitat from fat-cat politicans to migrating mobsters, drowning dolphins to stray chads. This collection of Miami Herald columns, written with a satiric wit and biting humor, will give Hiaasen fans a glimpse of the facts that inspire and prove far stranger than his frenetic fiction.

Harking back to the muckracking journalists of old, Hiassen lets the denizens of Florida in on the comings and goings of corrupt local politicos, misguided tourist bureaus, and flailing sports franchises. All in all, more than two hundred columns chronicle the everyday circus that gives South Florida a flavor and a flair all its own.
