DROP CITY, By T. Coraghessan Boyle. (fiction)
Boyle, one of America's great prose stylists, is the
author of numerous novels and short-story collections, including "Tooth
and Claw," "The Inner Circle," "After the
Plague," "A Friend of the Earth," "The Tortilla
Curtain," "The Road to Wellville," "Riven
Rock," "Water Music," and more. David Ferrell

TOURIST SEASON, By Carl Hiaasen. (fiction)
Classic Hiaasen doing riffs on obnoxious Florida tourists

Tight," "Native Tongue," "Strip Tease," "Basket
Case," "Skinny Dip," and others.
DELICIOUS, By Mark Haskell Smith. (fiction)
Another absurdist escapade by the author of the black
comedy "Moist." Mark Haskell Smith, incidentally, is
the screenwriter who originally adapted "Screwball" for Danny
DeVito and Universal Studios.
