Find a book excerpt here

We revisit Robin Young’s May 2025 conversation with best-selling author Carl Hiaasen about his novel “Fever Beach,” in which would-be white supremacists, a corrupt congressman, an environmentalist with anger issues and other wacky Floridians collide with hilarious results. The book comes out in paperback on March 31.
