100% Pure Florida Fiction Paperback - 2000
by Susan Hubbard (Editor); Robley Wilson (Editor)
This anthology of modern short stories evoking the character of Florida showcases the work of 21 writers, including Frederick Barthelme, Alison Lurie, Jill McCorkle, Peter Meinke, and Joy Williams, as well as new and emerging writers. The editors sifted through over 600 stories to pick this cream of the crop.
From the rear cover
This anthology of modern Florida fiction showcases 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, and con artists; it is the surreal spread of theme parks, condominiums, and strip malls; and it is a paradise -- lost, regained, and remembered -- of sea, sun, hammock, forest, and glade.
