Orange Crush by Tim Dorsey
No holds are barred in the battle to be the next Governor of Florida in this scintillating new black comedy thriller from the author of Florida Roadkill and Hammerhead Ranch Motel.‘I almost exploded with laughter… It’s manic, hysterical and puts Dorsey well up there with the cream of the comic writers who seem to have made Florida the centre for satirising America in the 21st centuryExcellent.’
Mark Timlin, Independent on Sunday
‘Impeccable bad taste… another warped, manic romp through Florida and local politics, evoking the rageful satire of Carl Hiaasen and the malicious vindictiveness of Hunter S Thompson. Set against the background of an election and involving a ventriloquist beauty queen and a serial killer with a taste for magic, this is comic crime at its best.’
Maxim Jakubowski, Guardian
‘An heroic attempt at literary revenge on, among other targets, American politics, gridiron football, billionaires, tennis and the media. It marks a return to the form of Dorsey’s astonishingly imaginative debut, Florida Roadkill.’
The Times
Tim Dorsey grew up in Riviera Beach on Florida’s southeast coast, and for several years worked as a journalist on the night desk of the Tampa Tribune, where his duties included sorting through endless reports of brutal and strange crimes. Humour is a natural defence reaction to editing this parade of dysfunction, violence and stupidity, and it led to a surreal, Florida-noir way of looking at things that became first Florida Roadkill, then Hammerhead Ranch Motel and now Orange Crush.
