One Christmas Eve, Whale Harbor is visited by a man who thinks he’s Jesus and claims to be buying a game of poker. But, as usual, things aren't quite what they seem. Having some version of the Lord around for his birthday creates a strange influence on the locals: unlikely couples are breaking up and creating and making out; a luxury mobile home that belonged to an elderly couple from New Jersey (until they disappeared following a run-in with “the Lord”) is won by the down-on-his-luck gambler within an unbelievable hand of poker; the area’s most well-known and long-forgotten tourist attraction is rising up from a hole in the ground; and a gun no one has found in years is suddenly in hot demand. Inside the steamy climes of southern Florida, you take your miracles where you can get them—and when that means being resulted in salvation by the schizophrenic with a rap sheet, so whether it is.
In the rollicking tradition of Carl Hiaasen’s Tourist Season, with the heart of Garrison Keillor’s Lake Wobegon, and peopled by the kind of colorful characters who would be quite at home in any Tom Robbins novel, N. M. Kelby’s Whale Season is a sharp and funny novel made up of equal parts comic adventure and serial-killer inspired mayhem.
