Life on Mars: Runaways, Exiles, Drag Queens and Other Aliens in Florida

Life on Mars: Runaways, Exiles, Drag Queens and Other Aliens in Florida

by Alexander Stuart (Author)

Synopsis

In the 1990s, from the perspective of almost anywhere else in the world, Florida resembles nothing so much as the Planet Mars itself. A swamp turned into a mindless paradise, a lure for tourists, spacemen and exiles, a state increasingly racked by racial tension and random gang violence, this is a place unlike any other. This work explores the extremes of Florida, the place where people come to reinvent their lives, escape from the past, themselves and reality. It weaves personal stories with tales of tragedy, survival and transformation exploring where Florida is now and where it, and many of us, might be headed.
