Abstract: 
When I am out of country and people ask, Florida exactly is where? — I’ve noticed I have taken to holding up my right hand. The tips of my fingers form the West Coast of the United States. My depending thumb becomes the state of Florida. “Florida,” I have heard myself say, “is the weird thumb of our nation.” In this collection of literary dispatches from my home state, I do not mean to survey her encyclopedically. Weird Thumb participant-observes Florida a few scenes known to the author, and documents these glimpses in a voice critical but emotionally resonant.
