When I heard that Apple TV would be airing a series called Bad Monkey, I knew it would be funny.
That's because it's based on the novel by Carl Hyacinth, which I read in 2013 when he was on fresh Air.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and our interview, which, well, listen back to today.
Hyacinth is a native of Florida, a longtime newspaper columnist and humor writer who became a go to guest for tv journalists when something big happened in the Sunshine state.
Hes some combination of cultural ambassador, social critic and voice of doom, railing against greedy developers, corrupt politicians and hordes of outsiders who come to plunder the states natural riches.
Hyacinth's written a series of mystery novels set in Florida, as well as children's books.
His novel striptease was made into a film starring Demi Moore, and his 1986 book tourist season was described as the first book about sex, murder and corruption on the professional bass fishing circuit.
Bad Monkey is a typically funny and offbeat murder mystery set in Key west.
The Apple TV series stars Vince Vaughn as Andrew Yanceye, a wise cracking detective intent on solving a mystery that begins with an unidentified severed arm and takes him through some beautiful Florida scenery.
Or as David B.
And Cooley said in his review, it's good Florida fun.
Here's my 2013 interview with Carl Hiasson.
Carl Hiasson, welcome back to Fresh Air.
I thought we would begin with having you read us a bit from bad monkey.
This is the opening of chapter four, description of the main character, Andrew Yancey.
You want to just set this up for us?
