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*
