Although more muted than in some of the preceding ten, Nature Girl’s barely concealed subtext expresses Hiaasen’s outraged concern over the diminishing natural environment in his home state. Hiaasen’s chosen form, the popular crime novel, has enabled him to reach a wide audience with his ecological message. Working within the generic confines of the crime novel, however, produces a number of intriguing challenges to Hiaasen’s radical tendencies.

  • Literature of Diminishment: American Regionalism and the Writing of Nature
    Literature of Diminishment: American Regionalism and the Writing of Nature By Juliana Hui-xin Chow A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Dorothy Hale, Chair Professor Anne-Lise François Professor Sophie Volpp Spring 2015 Abstract Literature of Diminishment: American Regionalism and the Writing of Nature by Juliana Hui-xin Chow Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Berkeley Professor Dorothy Hale, Chair Literature of Diminishment redefines regionalism as a philosophical approach that prefers a partial view of oneself and of others, whether human or nonhuman, rather than the comprehensive view pursued by nineteenth-century science. I show how American regionalist writings from the 1820s to 1910s adapt scientific techniques of observation to the aesthetics of the regionalist sketch. Their "sketchy" view of Nature highlights the deficiencies of knowing and nonetheless opens out to a view of biological processes and succession in which life cedes to life through its casualties. Regionalist literature is, then, less a literature of particular cultural or geographical regions as it is a literature whose principles of diminishment might insist on the roughness and limits of a regional setting. The archive of works I draw upon extends from environmental literature—the nature writings of John James Audubon, Henry David Thoreau, and Celia Thaxter—to less conventionally regionalist texts of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries such as works by Emily Dickinson, Herman Melville, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Gertrude Stein.

TEACHERS GUIDE ABOUT THIS BOOK In this humorous ecological mystery, three unlikely middle-school kids lead a protest to save endangered burrowing owls that live on the property where a Mother Paula’s All-American Pancake House is about to be built. Roy Eberhardt is accustomed to being the new kid in school, so when his father’s job moves the family to Coconut Cove, Florida, Roy enters Trace Middle School with the full knowledge of what it feels like to have no real friends. What he doesn’t expect is an immediate encounter with the school bully. Dana Matherson is everyone’s fear, but at the very moment he mashes Roy’s face against the school-bus window, Roy notices a barefoot boy running away from the school bus and across a field. His curiosity about the boy leads him to Beatrice, the boy’s stepsister, and Beatrice leads him to the burrowing owls that are about to become homeless because a Mother Paula’s All-American Pancake House is about to be built on the land where the owls live.

  • Approx. 12.5 Hours • Unabridged
    When Lane Coolman’s car is rear-ended on the road to the Florida Keys, this accident is no accident. Behind the wheel of the offending car is Merry Mansfield—the eponymous Razor Girl, so named for her eye-popping twist on an otherwise unexciting scam. But this is only the beginning of a series of events that spiral crazily out of control while unleashing some of the wildest characters Carl Hiaasen has ever set loose. There’s Martin Trebeaux, the owner of Sedimental Journeys—a company that steals sand from one beach to replace erosion on another . Buck Nance, a Wisconsin accordionist who rebrands himself the star of a redneck reality show called Bayou Brethren . a street psycho known as Blister who’s more Buck Nance than Buck could ever be . Brock Richardson, a Miami product-liability lawyer who’s getting dangerously—and deformingly—hooked on the very product he’s litigating against . and Andrew Yancy—formerly Detective Yancy, first introduced to fans in Bad Monkey. Busted down to the Health Department after accosting a girlfriend’s husband with a DustBuster, Yancy believes that if he can solve a high-profile murder case, he’ll win his police badge back and leave the roach patrol behind forever. That Razor Girl is the key to his future will be as startling as anything else he encounters along the way—including the giant Gambian rats that are haunting his restaurant inspections. was born and raised in Florida. He is the author of thirteen previous novels, including the bestsellers Bad Monkey, Star Island, Nature Girl, Skinny Dip, Sick Puppy, and Lucky You, and five bestselling children’s books, Hoot, Flush, Scat, Chomp, and Skink.

She’s taking rude, gullible Relentless, Inc., telemarketer Boyd Shreave and his less-than-enthusiastic mistress, Eugenie—the fifteen-minute-famous girlfriend of a tabloid murderer—into the wilderness of Florida’s Ten Thousand Islands for a gentle lesson in civility. What she doesn’t know is that she’s being followed by her Honey- obsessed former employer, Piejack (whose mismatched fingers are proof that sexual harassment in the workplace is a bad idea). And he doesn’t know he’s being followed by Honey’s still-smitten former drug- running ex-husband, Perry, and their wise-and-protective-way-beyond-his-years twelve-year-old-son, Fry. And when they all pull up on Dismal Key, they don’t know they’re intruding on Sammy Tigertail, a half white–half Seminole failed alligator wrestler, trying like hell to be a hermit despite the Florida State coed who’s dying to be his hostage . Will Honey be able to make a mensch of a “greedhead”? Will Fry be able to protect her from Piejack—and herself? Will Sammy achieve his true Seminole self? Will Eugenie ever get to the beach? Will the Everglades survive the wild humans? All the answers are revealed in the delectably outrageous mayhem that propels this novel to its Hiaasen-of-the-highest-order climax.
