Here in the
many-blossomed state of Florida, Jeff Klinkenberg is our Thoreau, our
Audubon, our Russell Baker and our Edward Hoagland, an open-eyed but
innocent and gentle chronicler of Florida's amazing pleasures, keeping
the culture alive with prose as downhome as good talk and a tomato
sandwich. The governor should kiss Klinkenberg's backside for writing
this book and give the guy a medal. --Bob Shacochis, National Book
Award winner and author of Swimming in the Volcano and Easy in
the Islands
Nobody knows Florida as does St.
Petersburg Times prize-winning columnist Jeff Klinkenberg, who has
made a career of searching out the Florida that tourists, and most
Florida residents, never see. In this sequel to his popular and
critically acclaimed Real Florida, Klinkenberg, who grew up in
Miami, again takes his readers deep into Florida's magnificent (and
endangered) wildernesses, and to its most enchanting out-of-the-way
spots. Along the way, he introduces them to some of the most intriguing
and fascinating people who call Florida home.
