In this episode, we take a look at a double-bill of classic Florida pulp fiction: John D. MacDonald’s Darker Than Amber (the seventh novel in his Travis McGee series) and Charles Willeford’s Miami Blues (the first novel in his Hoke Moseley series).
We’re joined by director and "Mr. Miami" Bill Teck to discuss the novels, the sense his Cuban heritage gives him of the the state’s history, the changes in crime between the 1967 publication of Amber and Blues in 1984 as well as the nuances of Floridalia ranging from Miami Dade Community College to Granny Feelgood’s to depressing top-sider bars in Fort Lauderdale.
