Key West Confidential

Navero’s insider view gives rise to this Pssst! Don’t-Tell-Anybody-You-Read-It-Here book. Ranging from tales about Captain Tony to snippets about Jimmy Buffet, yarns about the Green Parrot Saloon and paeans to Blue Heaven, reminiscences about Mel Fisher and memories of Hunter Thompson, even a passing reference to the long-missing Key West fire chief Bum Farto -- it’s all here, true stories about the island they call Key Weird and its colorful, off-the-wall denizens

Bud Navero has been a writer, teacher and learner in Key West for many a day and night. “It’s always been a place that encourages you to live in your imagination and follow your passion. That’s what sets it apart. That’s what this book embraces, celebrates and urges everyone to cultivate.”
