Coconut Cowboy
Coconut Cowboy: A Novel | Tim Dorsey
2 posts | 2 read | 4 to read
Channeling his inner Easy Rider, Serge Storms saddles up for his most epic, lethal, and hilarious road trip ever as he revvs off to find the lost American Dream . . . starting in the Florida Panhandle. Obsessed with the iconic Sixties classic Easy Rider, encyclopedic Floridaphile, lovable serial killer, and movie buff extraordinaire Serge A. Storms devises his wildest plan yet: finish the journey begun by his freewheeling heroes, Captain America and Billy, tragically cut short by some shotgun-wielding rednecks. Setting a course for the Florida panhandle, Captain Serge—with Coleman literally riding shotgun—mounts his classic motorcycle and hits the highway in search of the real America: the apple-pie-eating, freedom-swilling moms and pops of Main Street USA. But the America he finds in the rural burgs dotting the neck of the peninsula is a little bit different . . . and a whole lot weirder than anything Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper encountered. In a state where criminal politicians are more common than gators, Serge and Coleman discover one particular speed-trap locale so aggressively inept at corruption that investigators are baffled where to start. Expect nothing less than madness, mayhem, ingenious homicides, and mind-altering pharmaceuticals when Serge and Coleman’s path intersects with the Sunshine State’s hyper-dysfunctional rusticity. Where’s Jack Nicholson when you need him?

In typical Dorsey style, this book is a heck of a trip featuring our serial killing, Florida history loving protagonist Serge and his cohort, Coleman, as they reenact the movie Easy Rider and take to the Florida streets on motorcycles. I thought this was a great addition to the series and was definitely one of the better Dorsey novels. Odd, but good nonetheless.

Tim Dorsey never disappoints. Always hilarious and outrageous in the same vein as Carl Hiaasen. Why are all the crazy books set in Florida? Great for a good laugh.
