Publisher's Synopsis
While climate change is no laughing matter, the human condition, especially as a trigger for global warming, is ripe for lampooning with psycho-social satire. Set in Florida, ground zero for climate crisis, this angsty collection of seven short stories-and a preface, too-infuses absurd satire and dark humor into postmodern, cautionary tales of horror, science-fiction, fantasy, and social dysfunction.
The stories represent a tropical storm of social chaos and climate crisis that touches on the ludicrous, representing small-town eccentricity and featuring a whirlwind of mutating humans, manatees, iguanas, and enlightened cows, as well as hurricanes, genetically-modified corn, weeds gone-wild, methane gas, pesticide, nuclear-power plants, egg people, government ineptitude, and a few Florida crackers, rednecks, and hicks. Also featuring Judd Jugmonger, the author's protagonist of his other works, .
Climate fiction from the mind of Jay Leonard Schwartz, a native-Floridian, self-confessed dadaist-at-large, and author of the novel, O Little Central Florida Town of Bedlam.
Pick up this book and get blown away. It will make you think twice about climate crisis!
