by Edward Bloor. However, the Tangerine of this book is set in the fictional county of Tangerine and is located in the Gainesville area.
Tangerine, Florida was the adopted home of novelist, journalist and government consultant Harry Hart Frank (born Chicago, Illinois, 1908[ died Jacksonville, Florida, 1964). Under the pen name Pat Frank, his classic 1959 post-apocalyptic novel Alas, Babylon
is set in the fictional Central Florida small town (stated pop. 3,500) of 'Fort Repose'. Fort Repose, although fictional, is a clearly drawn composite, representative of many small isolated native-settler Florida communities of the period. The actual town of Mount Dora, Florida has been stated as a specific inspiration for 'Fort Repose', with Frank's fictional shantytown 'Pistolville' said to have been named for Mt. Dora's area of the same name.
Tangerine was also mentioned in the 2010 Ben Affleck
