Books in brief
http://www.kansascity.com/entertainment/story/530264.html (http://www.kansascity.com/entertainment/story/530264.html)
In his first novel in 14 years, Brian Antoni proves the ingredients for fantasy need not include hobbits, witches, vampires or any mythical creature or supernatural event.
Instead, realistic characters in real places can be equally magical under the right narrative spell. This seems the aesthetic Antoni has chosen for South Beach, a frothy chronicle of the early 1990s rise of its title hot spot, viewed through the lives of the varied residents of a run-down deco hotel.
