Hotel Honolulu

Newly married and having recently taken over the management of a hotel in Honolulu, a former writer is drawn into the lives of his guests and the distinctive customs and rhythms of the distant island.

As witness to the many contrasting chronicles of the hotel's characters, he ultimately returns to writing once again. The result is this novel in 80 distinct episodes, a Chaucerian sequence of strange pilgrims and islanders confronting each other and their fates in the rooms of the seedy hotel.

Great Characters

My favorite book by Paul Theroux. Full of emotion and honesty. Great narrator. A great story about starting again, with nothing but your wit, an eye for trouble, and sometimes joy.
