Gator Country by Rebecca Renner: Publishers Weekly and Kirkus starred review
Gator Country by Rebecca Renner has gained a Publishers Weekly and Kirkus starred review ahead of its publication.
The Kirkus review writes "In her debut, National Geographic contributor Renner takes us into the Everglades in an attempt to challenge preconceptions about the area... Combining her skills for investigative reporting, nature writing, and personal anecdotes, Renner explores local folklore and legends, shares her personal experiences and observations, and details Operation Alligator Thief, which fights poaching."
And the PW review calls it "Fascinating...Renner teases out the moral ambiguities with a grace and rigor reminiscent of Susan Orlean’s The Orchid Thief. Beautifully evoking the “sawgrass plains and wild strands of jungle” of its author’s home state, this tale of power, politics, and tradition is a triumph."
Flatiron Books publishes the book on November 14, 2023.
