Editorial Reviews

Review

"Sometimes these stories and poems talk, sometimes they sing...but the writing is always melodious." -- David A. Kaufelt, author of The Fat Boy Murders, 1997

From the Publisher

Key West has always attracted writers who observed life on the 2 by 4 mile island. This collection of stories from the latest generation is as colorful as from those who went before -- Hemingway, Tennessee Williams, Richard Wilbur and more.

Allen Meece (Key West, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Once Upon An Island (Paperback)
I am one the the group of 12 who cooperatively wrote and published this book of south Florida short stories. Living in what some call "paradise" produces a unique life experience which we want to share with those living more traditional lifestyles. You'll enjoy a tropical getaway with each story. Read them slowly, they'll last a long time in your memory.

Hopefully we will continue to hear from The Key West Co-op. These insightful writers capture the essence of what is wacky and wonderful about Key West.
