Gros problème

Novel, Humour by Dave Barry

Blurb

Big Trouble is a novel written by Dave Barry. It was made into a film version in 2001. However, the film was not released until 2002 because of the September 11 attacks. Barry, who used to write for the Miami Herald, set the novel's events in and around Miami, Florida.
In point of fact, this plot-line, below, is the plot-line of the movie. The book is far more detailed, and ironic. I.E. How Eliot, at the end, gets a job being a copywriter for the Seminal Fluids because of the submission, by his client, of his client's artwork in his name, which is suitably rude and crass as to gain the attention and accolade of the Seminal Fluids' management. In addition, there is the ongoing joke about subcontractors, and how they tend to get knocked-off in boating accidents, when they become a political/legal hot potato - and how that fate eventually finds Arthur.

Quite funny and a perfect demonstration of the “Florida man” meme. Pretty good book.
