Reader remarks for Jack Rudloe's "Potluck"
"Jack Rudloe's nonfiction account of living on the
Gulf Coast, *The Living Dock at Panacea*, is a Florida classic that ranks
with Cross Creek. In POTLUCK, Mr. Rudloe proves he can handle fiction with the same energy
and insightful style." --Randy Wayne White, author of *Captiva*,
*Shark River* and the *Man Who Invented Florida*
"POTLUCK is a joy to read--taut and suspenseful--by a writer who knows
the high seas." --Winston Groom, author of *Forrest Gump*, *Such
a Pretty Girl* and *Gone the Sun*
"A writer who has kept readers spellbound with descriptions
of the life-cycle of an oyster now turns his powers loose on human beings.
In this gripping sea tale, desperation and greed collide as violent men
and their machines fight out living on the Gulf Coast." --Bailey
White, author of *Mama Makes Up Her Mind*, *Sleeping at the Starlite
Motel* and *Quite a Year for Plums*
"Rudloe has for decades dazzled us with his acumen
as a naturalist and outspoken environmentalist. Celebrated as a nonfiction
writer, he now proves himself a literary man for all seasons. POTLUCK grabs you
from the first page and doesn't let go. Awash with intrigue, betrayal and
action, Rudloe tells the unspoken truth about the drug culture that has
evolved on the Gulf Coast, where innocent lives are overturned--capsized
by the lure of quick riches and the simple tide of circumstance. In addition
to being a great read, this book is, in a historical sense, truly important."
--Joe Hutto, author of *Illumination in the Flatwoods*
