BookPage Nonfiction Review: Whodunit? Deftly jumping around the 20th century with little regard for chronology, Dorsey spins a tale featuring Serge Storms, a homeless (and certifiably loony) investigator bent on discovering the whereabouts of some diamonds that have been missing since the Johnson administration. Serge's adventures as a detective, mischievous criminal and serial killer are chronicled in several previous novels beginning with Florida Roadkill, each as funny and irreverent as anything on the market today. It seems that Serge's grandfather had been involved in the infamous museum heist of the 563-carat Star of India diamond. www.bookpage.com /0402bp/fiction/whodunit.html   (690 words)

SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Features -- Hijacked by a guy named Storms Serge A. Storms was just one of a handful of lunatics, including bikers so grungy they couldn't even join a biker gang, a serial-marrying stripper, an inept drug cartel, a band of professional Hemingway impersonators and an enforcer for a retirement-home kingpin, that populated and depopulated Dorsey's first novel, "Florida Road Kill." Serge A. Storms was asserting himself, taking over the book and, ultimately, taking over author Dorsey's career. Serge resists the pull; he screams, he pounds his hand on the steering wheel. www.signonsandiego.com /news/features/20040404-9999-news_1a4dorsey.html   (1026 words)

The Mystery Bookstore: TIM DORSEY signs STINGRAY SHUFFLE Over the course of four novels, Tim Dorsey has created his own twisted universe, under the benevolent but psychopathic eye of Florida-phile Serge A. Storms (his motto: "Moderation in Moderation"). Serge and his stoner pal Lenny are chasing a briefcase that contains $5 million, which may or may not belong to a group of Russians pretending to be Latino gangsters — or to a couple of retirees — or to a book club of hard-drinking divorcees. The chase leads to a Mystery Train trip from New York to Florida, featuring a writer who bears a strong resemblance to Randy Wayne White but somehow it all works out, and everyone who deserves it gets a happy ending. www.mystery-bookstore.com /blog/archives/000158.html   (173 words)

Wikipedia talk:Spoiler warning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I have a feeling that the Serge A. Storms article should be merged somewhere (Special:Whatlinkshere/Serge A. Storms leads to some very short articles), so I've left that be for now. The {{spoiler-aboutvarious works}} tag in Timeline of fictional historical events was unhelpful because of the sheer number of different works being sighted -- a better case for simply {(spoiler}} [1]. The spoiler in the Tarantino article was irrelevant to the article subject, so I removed it and eliminated that tag. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Spoiler_warning   (3794 words)

The Oakland Press: Oakland Life: 'Torpedo' heads right for funny Florida The protagonist of this novel, for example, is Serge A. Storms - who is a good guy even if he is a serial killer. Serge's targets are other lowlifes, such as like the used car dealer who sells reconditioned cars equipped with sand-filled airbags and the roofing company owner who scares homeowners into second mortgages. He's aided and abetted by Coleman, a stoner and force of nature whose idea of a good time is sitting in the back of 12-step program meetings, sipping beer and listening to the stories. www.theoaklandpress.com /stories/021305/oak_20050213019.shtml   (441 words)

Amazon.ca: Triggerfish Twist: Books Serge A. Storms is by far the most hillarious character ever written!

Book Review In the Tampa Bay area, after his roommates Sharon and Coleman burn down their townhouse along with a few historical homes while freebasing lint, Serge A. Storms relocates the entire crew to Triggerfish Lane. The latest Serge tale TRIGGERFISH TWIST is a very humorous look at suburbia through the eyes of a kindhearted urban con man.

Book Review Grande of the Mierde Cartel hires the Russian Mafioso to recover the five million drug dollars that Serge A. Storms and his almost as wacky partner Lenny Lippowics stole and stashed in the Hammerhead Ranch Motel that no longer stands due to a hurricane. Serge is as wacko as ever so that readers receive his usual feral trip and his support cast seems more like escapees from an asylum. Though killing is like apple pie for Serge, the former KGB agents do a good job of eliminating themselves in the nearby swamps without his assistance. www.allreaders.com /BookRView.asp?BRID=42209   (289 words)

Who’s Left in the Literary Tradition This overview of Tim Dorsey's satiric briefcase trilogy proposes that the narrative's protagonist, Serge A. Storms, is a sterling postmodern example of the antihero. While Serge can come off as the occasional homicidal maniac, his victims are most often despicable louts out to deface the fading pastoral tenor of Florida through their greed and criminality. In spite of the ghastliness of his deeds in pursuit of a briefcase full of five million dollars in exploited cash, Serge is a protector and preserver of Florida whose actions and words suggest parallels to shaman, trickster, and Robin Hood. www.flacea.org /Conferences/program2004.htm   (5326 words)

Tangled Web UK Review - Triggerfish Twist by Tim Dorsey August 2002 For example, having accidentally walked into a lecture hall at the University of Florida, Serge is invited to give the commencement address. Well, of course, it's his encyclopaedic knowledge of Florida folklore, his ability to put his dubious skills at the service of the downtrodden, and his unerring ability to see all that is wrong in American culture. Amongst many other shibboleths of American culture, he eviscerates the urge to litigation, suggesting that if you drop a taco, don't look round for somebody to blame. www.twbooks.co.uk /reviews/reviews02/imtriggerfpbk02.html   (382 words)

MusicDish Industry e-Journal Mighty Serge Gainsbourg storms thru a mean fuzz guitar with this classic French pop killer "Qui est 'In', Qui est 'Out" (whose in and whose out!), with pop-art lyrics about the superficiality of famous, pop-fashion, name-dropping discotheques, the Bus Palladium (the mod mecca of swingin' Paris!) and Barbarrella and her space-age boots! Then follows Anna Karina, Star of the J.L. Godart's '60s movies, who struts her stuff in the killer Serge Gainsbourg song penned "Roller Girl" with fuzz and an ultra groovy beat from the soundtrack of '67 TV pop-art film musical "Anna". She is a former star actress of the cult movie, "Beat Girl," which is one of the first soundtracks by John Barry with the Barry Seven, who, at that time, was the husband of Jane Birkin. www.musicdish.com /mag?id=8643   (1436 words)

This Month's Articles Who would have guessed it would get this far when, in 1999, I introduced Serge A. Storms, possibly the only lovable serial killer in the whole publishing business? Serge is a devotee of Florida history, which he likes to recite to the state’s despoilers before dispatching them.

Publisher description for Library of Congress control number 2002026431 But there must also be time for hobbies, and Serge's newest "interest" is trains: how they developed Florida, where the old historic cars are on display, when to book a trip on Amtrak and share his enthusiasm with the other passengers. The Stingray Shuffle answers all these and more as Serge and friends pinball between stops including Tampa, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Cocoa Beach, and the Keys before setting their sights on New York City. In this brand-new saga, The Stingray Shuffle, Serge takes on all comers: the Russian mob, the Jamaican mob, the cocaine cartels, and spoiled frat boys. www.loc.gov /catdir/description/hc041/2002026431.html   (356 words)
