The book isn't exactly gripping. The author meets figures in the Florida Ochid Scene, all of them leave me cold. I couldn't shake the feeling that parts of the book are fiction, but even then it wasn't very interesting fiction. Didn't touch me more than, let's say, a longer magazin article about the subject would have.
After the first couple of pages I was definately into this book. I didn't know that there are no black orchids, and that it will take seven years before an orchid will flower. This is the most interesting nonfiction I've read so far this year.There is a black cloud however. The author inserts herself into the narrative as almost a counter to John Laroche, the man responsible for "stealing" ghost orchids from the Fakahatchee swamp. The two are different, really different, and it's apparent from the author's tone that she's uncomfortable with him. He's rude, smokes too much, doesn't exercise, etc. If only the author could have found a more redemptive light in which to display the man's shortcomings!I didn't really think that any of the portrayals she gave was reason enough to provoke the unfortunate characterization of John Laroche, a living man, in print. Rather the opposite, I began to dislike the author for being too uptight, too judgemental, jogging too regularly, etc. Is it possible to portray a character with some measure of realism without resorting to a comparison between subject and author?
The Orchid Thief, by Susan Orleans, discusses the case of John Laroche, a Florida man who was obsessed with orchids. Laroche took protected orchids out of the Fakahatchee Strand, an area of swamp in Florida. Orleans got to know Laroche and other orchid obsessives, and it's an interesting account of their world. Various shonky companies were responsible for the Florida land booms (and busts) which were the prelude to the govt's acquisition of the land of the Fakahatchee Strand. Plots of land were neatly subdivided but never inhabited, and perhaps the most compelling description, for me, was of the curious occurence of desolate suburban streets, complete with street signs, that cut through the wild landscape: a town with neither inhabitants nor homes, but streets maintained by an anonymous individual dubbed the "ghost grader."There was just a *little* too much detailed description of the "amazing" Florida landscape for my liking, and of Orleans' personal distate when confronted with swamp; you feel like she's just trying to capture how icky it is, but after a while there's a bit of a "so what? it's swamp" effect. Her disappointment that she couldn't buy a diet soda at one remote store fails to pluck at your heartstrings (or mine, anyway). But she does give a really compelling history of the so-called orchidelirium that gripped the Victorians, of rather astounding orchid-collecting expeditions across the tropics, and of the orchid subculture.Orleans describes Florida as a state under siege -- from water,from plunderers, from wild foliage. I enjoyed this book -- Orleans writes for the New Yorker, and it's like a New Yorker article that never ends, which is my idea of reading heaven.
First, a few caveats (it's always best to be up-front about ones biases and assumptions): 1) I haven't read Ms. Orlean's 'New Yorker' article, so I have no basis of comparison between it and this book. 2) I have never lived in South Florida, and have only visited Miami Beach twice, so my ability to say what is "true" about Florida's history and culture is somewhat limited and I won't even bother to attempt to verify any of Ms. Orlean's assertions. Fact - or slightly modified fact - I don't know...That being said, this book is a very enjoyable, engaging read. No, it does not have a particularly suspenseful or intriguing STORYline, especially if what you're looking for is an amazing-but-true mystery with high drama and a surprise ending. The author says, from the beginning, that she can only deal in the facts of the case - if she wants to keep this a non-fiction book, she's limited by real events. What she does, very successfully, however, is reveal the fascinating world of obsession and collecting - in this case, for a particular form of plant.And she does this with amazing ease and grace. Like her guides in the swamps, Ms. Orlean takes us through lessons in history, evolution, geology and botany - subjects which could be incredibly dry in someone else's hands - and connects them neatly with her incredible descriptions of current orchid mania - the characters, the controversies, and the competition. Her ability to make those connections allows the reader to take a step further, and make their own, outside of what she has written. I constantly found myself saying, "Oh my, that's the (explorer/patron/flower) that (did this/went there/made that)." Personally, I love that - the making of connections, between what the author shows and the reader already knows. That's when you get grabbed by what you're reading.And, again, the author's style is very engaging. Sure, she may repeat a fact once in a while, but that's only to reinforce the information she's given you about a set of fairly complex subjects - at least for the average reader (me). She takes you through her history lessons and personal experiences with arch wit and subtle humor (quote - somewhat bastardized: "I hate being in a swamp with machete-wielding convicts.") Some prefer anonymous journalism; Ms. Orlean injects her own experiences and thoughts into the story with a complete rejection of false objectivity; she's there, she's experiencing this, and the story is as much about her own voyage as anyone else's.Bottom-line? A very enjoyable book. Take it for what it is - I don't think the author has served it to us with any pretenses, so we shouldn't take it that way.
I don't know an orchid from a dandelion, but something about this book's description intrigued me. The pursuit of beauty takes many forms, and orchids appear to be a particularly virulent strain of this passion, which for some, apparently, borders on madness.The author draws readers into the intertwined worlds of orchid business and orchid obsession in South Florida, where history and heat inject their own craziness into the mix. It is a fascinating glimpse into the human condition; I will never pass another flower store advertising orchids without pausing to think about this book.In fact, I enjoyed it so much, I immediately went out and bought Eric Hansen's "Orchid Fever" -- perhaps the beginning of my own orchid obsession!
