Riassunto

"Tropical Quests" is a novel in the form of a memoir about one man's discovery of Key West and its unique characters. The reader experiences first-hand the quirkiness of the island and its life-style, and the historical events--the Mariel Boatlift, the discovery of the treasure ship, Atocha, the world-famous Fantasy Fest, the mock secession of the island from the United States--which have now made the island known throughout the world. Real and fictional characters mix in a tale that writer Rosalind Brackenbury says: "The themes of delight in life and grief at loss are beautifully intertwined."

Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

"Wesley writes keenly against the winds and tides of time. He recreates in this novel those he found memorable during the time Key West bloomed with its legendary characters, when many proved brave and loyal even in the darkest times, and laughter and tears mingled. A tribute to all those who have lived and loved on this paradise island." --Way son Choy, author of "The Jade Peony, Paper Shadows, All That Matters," and "Not Yet." "The themes of delight in life and grief at loss are beautifully intertwined. Wesley has a gift with prose, and sometimes moved me to tears.--Rosalind Brackenbury, author of "Windstorm and Flood," "Seas Outside the Reef," "The House in Morocco," "Becoming George Sand."
