Florida is a civilized place with eighteen million residents and all of the modern amenities one might expect. It is also home to panthers, bears, rattlesnakes, and alligators. In this collection of essays about Florida culture - the things that make Florida Florida - Jeff Klinkenberg sets his sights on the contradictions that comprise the Sunshine State.
Jeff Klinkenberg grew up in Miami, began working in newspapers at age sixteen, and has been writing for the Tampa Bay Times since 1977. He is a two-time winner of the Paul Hansell Distinguished Journalism Award, the highest honor given by the Florida Society of Newspaper Editors.
