Roaring Reptiles, Bountiful Citrus, and Neon Pies

Full of the kind of unnecessary commentary that might cause trouble, as Lane describes it, this book is written with affection toward the wide diversity of lives and experiences that make up the state he calls home. He shows that deciding the things that represent us at any given moment is far trickier than it appears. Especially in Florida, a state aptly symbolized by “a lot of contradictions baked into a Key lime pie.”
