"Brian Antoni is the author of the novel
Paradise Overdose and a contributor to the New York Times
best selling novel, Naked Came The Manatee. His new book,
South Beach: The Novel was heralded by The New York Times
Book Review as a "candy-colored and warm-hearted work of
fiction...rich with club scenes and descriptions of off-beat
forms of physical congress, this story of one man's moral and
sexual flowering might best be described as an arrested bildungs-roman
with a predilection for the psycho-sexual." Brian lives between
South Beach and the West Village and uses any excuse to visit to
NOLA. More info at

South Beach: The Novel (2008)
Gabriel Tucker is a globe-trotting, trust
fund–endowed twenty-nine-year-old who suddenly finds himself penniless
and alone in the world, except for an old Miami Beach apartment building
named the Venus De Milo Arms, the last thing of value left to him by his
now-vanished family. Lacking skills or resources, he heads to Miami
Beach to reconstruct his life, finding himself neighbors with an
unlikely mix of tenants: an elderly Holocaust survivor, a lip-synching
drag queen, a cynical two-bit gossip columnist, and a rebellious young
performance artist who will eventually capture his heart. Within days,
Gabriel is thrust into the outrageous world of South Beach, Miami of the
nineties: temptations, quick fortunes, mountains of drugs, notorious
murders, nonstop sex, and beautiful women (and men) for sale (or rent)
are the order of the day. He is a ringside witness to the excesses and
intrigues of Italian fashion empires, Cuban refugee supermodels,
rapacious German developers, old-fashioned crooked politicians, and a
cast of characters that would make Caligula blush. It is in South Beach
that Gabriel will eventually discover the long-buried mysteries of his
family and find a soul he never imagined he had and a love he never
dreamed he deserved.

In South Florida, everyone wants to get a
head. But not just any head. A very famous human head--severed and
snugged away in a cryonic container. A head that could spark a
revolution and change the course of history.
Everybody wants a piece of the noggin: rotund gangster Big Joey G., a
102-year-old environmentalist, hard-boiled Miami reporter Britt Montero,
lawyer Jake Lassiter, and a would-be dictator in exile--with
ex-president Jimmy Carter and a lovable manatee named Booger thrown in
for good measure.
With bodies piling up it's anybody's guess what will happen from one
chapter to the next, as an all-star line-up of Florida's finest writers
take turns at taking this outrageously original novel to the limit--and
beyond.
