‘Squeeze Me’ proves that the Trump era is Carl Hiaasen’s moment
Lampooning the rich is a longtime American literary pastime, and no writer has ever been blessed with more fertile territory in that regard than Palm Beach. On the very first page we meet Kiki Pew Fitzsimmons, of the “aerosol Pews” and one of the Trump-loving “Potussies,” a bevy of hard-drinking, bejeweled heiresses, who at a ball in POTUS’s honor serenade him with a song they made up, “Big Unimpeachable You.”
Due out (hopefully) August 25, Hiaasen's long-awaited new book (any new Hiaasen book is long-awaited by me) looks like a screamer.
This review is from the (paywalled) Washington Post—you can also read about it at Amazon, Apple Books, Barnes & Nobel, etc.
