About this listen

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.

The Narrator was excellent and did the best with the opportunities he had. Unfortunately, the characters described in these stories are just not very nice people and it is hard to maintain any interest in what they are doing.

Overall, a disappointing book from Paul Theroux
