Naked Came the Manatee captures loopiness of the South Florida area vividly, zanily....

Date of Review:  Jun 25, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you want a light summer read with dark wit and vivid descriptions of the South Florida region, this book's for you.
Review: Saturday night, Coconut Grove.

There were the European tourists, getting off their big fume-belching buses, wearing their new jeans and...

Date of Review:  Aug 21, 2001
The Bottom Line: Naked Came the Manatee is a piece of light reading I'm glad I didn't miss. It will not change the face of fiction, but it will make it smile.
Review: ...that I couldn't name 13 contemporary Floridian authors BEFORE reading this novel, you'd be a million dollars richer! However, what Naked Came the Manatee is and isn't in the way of content or literary worth notwithstanding, the novel itself is...

Naked Came the Manatee - Confusing Came the Book

Date of Review:  Aug 15, 2000
Review: It certainly sounded like a good idea. The Miami Herald's Tropic magazine pulled 13 of Miami's most well-known writers, including several well known mystery writers, to do a serial novel. Each writer would pick up his or her chapter where the...

  New York Times Book Review: "Aside from the speedboat ride of a plot...there's the pleasure of listening to these masters play with the language and conventions of the mystery genre, manipulating cliches...and dopey lines, picking up threads previous chapters writers have left behind while deftly upping the ante."

Paperback, Naked Came the Manatee: A Novel
In South Florida, everyone wants to get a head. But not just any head. A very famous human head -- severed and snugged away in a cryonic container. A head that could spark a revolution and change the course of history. Everybody wants a piece of the noggin: rotund gangster Big Joey G., 102-year-old environmentalist, hard-boiled Miami reporter Britt Montero, lawyer Jake Lassiter, and a would-be dictator in exile -- with ex-president Jimmy Carter and a lovable manatee named Booger thrown in for good measure.With bodies piling up it s anybody s guess what will happen from one chapter to the next, as an all-star line-up of Florida s finest writers take turns at taking this outrageously original novel to the limit -- and beyond.
