Customer Reviews

It's David Warner's Florida - and the rest of us are welcome to it

"Vanishing Florida" might as well be sub-titled "A Tour of the Sunshine State's best Honky-Tonk Bars." Author David T. Warner resembles the late Ernest Hemingway in looks, tastes and literary talent; and his Florida is a Sunshine State-full of hard-drinkin' Good Ole Boys and the women who love them. Warner is from an old Florida family: His grandfather was Senator J. T. Butler and his cousin was High-Sheriff Jim Turner of Levy County. (Warner also wrote a biography of Sheriff Turner.) And "Vanishing Florida" is clearly a labor of love. Each of us has his or her own Florida, and this is David Warner's Florida - and the rest of us are welcome to it.
