Eerie Florida, the ‘other’ book the author wrote was good. This book had so much anti-colonialism and other liberal self-loathing the ‘freaky’ part just got lost and felt more like one of those punitive anti-European corporate diversity classes. Perhaps his publisher told him he needed diversity points.
