Over the past century, the island city of Key West has been home to many Pulitzer Prize Winners and other esteemed writers: Ernest Hemingway, Tennessee Williams, John Hersey, Thomas McGuane, Philip Caputo, James Merrill, Elizabeth Bishop, Richard Wilbur, and Hunter S. Thompson, to name just a few.

Here, for the first time, an anthology which celebrates the literary heritage of Key West: the island seen through the eyes of twenty-five of its most renowned writers.

“The Key West Reader is a spectacular collection... So many diverse writers sharing one thing in common, the Island of Key West, where each, in his or her own way, left their mark. It is consistently readable and a constant source of fascination that this tiny island city could be the source of so many fine pieces of writing...

Particularly notable is the rare essay "Who Killed the Vets," Ernest Hemingway's first-hand account of the 1935 hurricane (the strongest in recorded history) which washed out Henry Flagler's Overseas Railroad and killed thousands.”

- Island Life

”We have here a significant achievement... a moving tribute to the power of language and to a rare place in the geography of the American Consciousness - a very special confluence of geography, climate, and culture coalesced into language working at its highest levels.

- Les Standiford, Florida International University
