carl hiaasen

carl hiaasen seems like a very down to earth person, like someone you would find living next door. He has been married twice with two sons, one from each marriage. he has worked at the same job, the miami harold, a newspaper, since 1976. he has written many, fiction, non-fiction, and short-stories. one of his previous novels, strip tease, even became a motion picture staring demi moore and burt reynolds.

hiaasen novels and colums, the moral landscape making almost tangible certain basic and universal values: we should be loyal to our friends, be have with civility and decency, earn ourpaychecks honestly, experience shame of we stal, preserve the world for our children, and never surrender- either our belief in these valuse or to anyone who would violate them for personal gain. Hiaasen says, "you try to be a good citizen wherever you live. Plant mangroves and dont piss in the water."
