内容简介
In this wickedly satiric romp, Paul Theroux captures the essence
of Hawaii as it has never been depicted. The novel’s narrator, a
down-on-his-luck writer, escapes to Waikiki and soon finds himself
the manager of the Hotel Honolulu, a low-rent establishment a few
blocks off the beach. Honeymooners, vacationers, wanderers,
mythomaniacs, soldiers, and families all check in to the hotel.
Like the Canterbury pilgrims, every guest has come in search of
something — sun, love, happiness, objects of unnameable longing —
and everyone has a story. By turns hilarious, ribald, tender, and
tragic, HOTEL HONOLULU offers a unique glimpse of the psychological
landscape of an American paradise.
