520 _a"Sun Hunting" by Kenneth L. Roberts is a humorous travelogue written in the early 20th century. The work explores the unique subcultures and idiosyncrasies of various groups that flock to Florida, particularly its luxurious resorts like Palm Beach, to evade the harsh northern winters. With a keen eye for satire, Roberts comments on the lives of the wealthy time-killers, as well as those who seek solace in the sun, contrasting their experiences and societal behaviors. The opening of "Sun Hunting" provides a vivid and entertaining introduction to the phenomenon of time-killing in Florida as observed by the author. Roberts sets the stage by discussing the varying motivations of individuals seeking warmth, from the wealthy elite at Palm Beach to the more industrious "tin-can tourists," who travel with makeshift camping setups. He humorously depicts the cultural quirks of these groups, illustrating the contrasting lifestyles, and offers witty observations on their interactions with the environment and each other. Through these early chapters, the reader gains insight into the peculiar social dynamics of Florida's winter residents, prepping for a detailed exploration of their adventures and the stories that unfold amidst the sun-drenched landscape.
