Fiction General
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.
