Hiaasen nonfiction works include Assume the Worst - The Graduation Speech You'll Never Hear, The Downhill Lie and Team Rodent, a wry but unsparing rant against the Disney empire and its grip on American culture. Hiaasen is also responsible for several popular novels for young readers including Flush, Scat, Chomp, Skink and Newbery Honor winner, Hoot that was made into a feature film. All the novels are set in Florida, where they are read more as documentary than fiction. Subsequently, he published Tourist Season, Double Whammy, Skin Tight, Native Tongue and eleven national bestsellers – Strip Tease, Stormy Weather, Lucky You, Sick Puppy, Basket Case, Skinny Dip, Nature Girl, Star Island, Bad Monkey, Razor Girl, and his latest, Squeeze Me, which opened at #2 on the New York Times Bestseller List. Carl collaborated on three mystery thrillers – Powder Burn, Trap Line and Death in China Tourist Season. With his good friend and fellow journalist, the late William D. Hiaasen's books have been published in 34 languages which is 33 more than he can read or write.
Chat about Hiaasen's books, the world and/or what it takes to become a writer. Brighten even the darkest of days with this irreverent, ingenious and highly entertaining writer whose work captures the absurdity of our times. Zoom with Carl Hiaasen, "America’s finest satirical novelist" (The London Observer).
