Am I late to the party or what? I've only now just discovered Tim Dorsey and he's been hanging around in my backyard all this time. I live in Tampa, FL. He lives in Tampa, FL.
He writes like Carl Hiaasen. Sorta. If Hiaasen was on crack. Well, I'm paraphrasing a quote from the San Diego Union-Tribune. The quote actually reads "Tim Dorsey is Carl Hiaasen on meth, Elmore Leonard on acid, Dave Barry on Drano."
His books are all that and more. Tim Dorsey writes about a psychotic native Floridian named Serge A. Storms who travels the state, collects bits of Florida lore, meets a lot of really strange people, and often leaves a trail of imaginatively killed bodies behind him.
I've already read Triggerfish Twist, Florida Roadkill, and Hammerhead Ranch. I'm barely into The Stingray Shuffle now.
Anyone read these? If you want to check out Tim Dorsey's site, go to http://www.timdorsey.com - There's some pretty strange stuff there.
