Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

"When from the sheer weight of humanity and its assorted accoutrements the Charleston Peninsula broke off from mainland South Carolina and began floating out to sea, among the last to notice were those persons trapped on board the unlikely vessel . . ." The old port city has welcomed its share of visitors over the years, but when a bureaucratic snafu brings the Bravado Arts Festival, the Tri-County Mini-Storage Convention, and the Hunters-for-Jesus Jamboree to town all at once, the load is just too much, and for the second time in as many centuries, Charleston secedes—this time, literally. Following the course of the wayward island and the oddball hodgepodge of natives, tourists, and carpetbaggers stuck on board, Outbound is both a hilarious send-up of entrenched society and a deft satire of contemporary American politics. Forget red states and blue states: with rednecks, bluebloods, and redneck bluebloods scrambling for the helm, a rowdy reckoning is in store. Described as “a grand ride” by the Charleston City Paper and “wickedly funny” by the Charleston Post and Courier, this novel won the Independent Publishers Award for Best Regional Fiction, Southeast.
