内容简介：
In these zany, wacky and offbeat stories, Jon Michael Milleras Key West belongs squarely in the Florida Fiction tradition. It exposesaand celebratesathe daily ironies, heartbreaks and minor triumphs of ordinary human beings as they fumble through the challenges of everyday existence. In a Key West setting these struggles are personified by a dizzying array of characters, each one masterfully sketched: a retired postal worker, a Japanese porno star, a Cuban refugee, a high school virgin, a frustrated Navy wife, a jaded writing teacher, a vengeful pedophile, a punk street-hooker, a disillusioned medical student, a roustabout charter captain, a Seminole art dealer, an Iranian ex-patriot, and a New Age prizefighter. All of them grapple forces within and without to realize their dreams. Each has his or her own story, yet all the tales are interconnected. Some show victory, some defeat. You will laugh with some, perhaps cry with others. Taken together these comic, ironic slices of life dramatize the victories and defeats we all experience as we battle our fates in a world that seems uncertain and often unjust. Our struggles show how much we affirm the value of our lives.
