Sweta Das
In a world where environmental disasters and political corruption are seen as multiple sides of the same coin, Carl Hiaasen’s new book, Fever Beach is an enterprising and often wacky tour de force of the lower depths of Florida. Famous for his witty language and straightforward observation of society, Hiaasen’s new work stands to be an exclusive and memorable journey through a crooked world of money, eco-activism, and the influence of global warming.
This is a Darky Humorous Tale in Florida that is Undergoing Changes.
Fever Beach follows Dale Figgo, an unsuccessful Capitol violator, who gets involved in a bizarre scheme with Twilly Spree, a young and enthusiastic eco-activist. Together, they are forced to confront the destruction of the environment in Florida and the local leaders who exploit it for their own personal gain.
Just like dispatching a very “Florida Man” story that deals with one hectic situation after another, Hiaasen is committed to painting the Sunshine State’s most serious problems and at the same time crafting that part to be the comic relief. Through the power of his pen, the author informs the readers about the disasters happening in the country, its politicians, and business tycoons, and the political leaders themselves who are engaged in the same avenue of looting but in a more comedic way.
Intrigue of Florida’s Capricious Environment and Disreputable Power
Hiaasen on the one hand expounds on the multifaceted problems of Florida, and then on the other, he draws a picture where the state is welcoming to refugees as well as being a place where one can make a killing. Seeing the irony of it all, he uses his sense of humor to mock those in government who continue to exploit the locals and the readers, and this is indeed a funny and yet serious story.
In a CBS Miami exclusive, Hiaasen disclosed that his latest book “has to do with the parasitic class of humans” in Florida that it is about. He talked about the influence of the state on both the fittest humans and the climate refugees and also explained that the real-life environmental problems in the state make it the same in literature represented in Fever Beach.
What Will Make You Fall in Love with Fever Beach?
Readers already familiar with Hiaasen’s novels will notice that Fever Beach maintains the author’s usual combination of bleak humor and environmental awareness. Its detailed exposure of the link between climate change and its human face and high-speed crisis development are the key attractions that guarantee the readers’ very vivid, unforgettable experience with the work.
The book is a vivid portrayal of ecological destruction in the context of political turmoil in Florida. Hiaasen’s type of writing which he used in the new book is an incentive to ponder on the fine line between nature and human intervention, but in the time of disasters, it appeals to everyone. The idea of the book is to talk about that discussed or just discovered the part of our world.
