Native Tongue by Carl Hiaasen is a satirical novel set in the near future, where the state of Florida has become a hotbed of corruption, environmental degradation, and bizarre political schemes. The story follows the character of Jack Tagger, a former newspaper reporter who is now working as a tabloid journalist in a sensationalist media landscape. Tagger’s latest assignment takes him into the world of a quirky, over-the-top murder mystery involving a corrupt real estate mogul and a beautiful woman named Mel. As the plot unfolds, Tagger becomes entangled in a series of absurd, often dangerous events, exposing the absurdities of the American Dream, environmental neglect, and the media’s role in shaping public perception.

At its core, Native Tongue is a critique of modern society’s obsessions with greed, sensationalism, and the manipulation of truth. Hiaasen blends dark humor with social commentary, painting a picture of a world where the line between reality and fiction is increasingly blurred. The novel’s characters are eccentric and exaggerated, embodying the bizarre culture of the region. Through witty dialogue and sharp observations, Hiaasen explores the moral decay and the exploitation of Florida’s natural resources. The narrative is fast-paced and full of twists, keeping readers engaged while offering a satirical take on politics, media, and human nature.
