Carl Hiassen’s satirical novels cut right to the bone, and I don’t know if I’ve ever read anything funnier — or more beautifully targeted (Skin Tight and Double Whammy remains favorites). Enjoy this short interview (I did):

Thanks for sharing this little gem. I enjoy the mini-genre of “Florida Novels” (for lack of a better name for them). Dave Barry’s “Big Trouble” is one of my favorite novels, in part for its sheer exuberance. If you haven’t seen the movie version, it’s worth tracking down.

“Florida Novels” covers that raucous, wildly funny-yet-wholly-depressing genre pretty well.
I didn’t know Big Trouble had been made into a movie, but then, I’m largely out of touch with the entertainment world.
