Carl Hiaasen

Creator Context

Summary

Florida novelist-columnist known for decades of environmental advocacy (incl. a 2017 Florida Defenders of the Environment award) and hard-edged political satire. Recent novels *Squeeze Me* and *Fever Beach* mock Trump-aligned figures and white-nationalist bunglers; long *Miami Herald* work hit corruption, overdevelopment, and racism. Classical progressive/green satire, not DEI-first activism.
