{"product_id":"hotel-honolulu-a-novel","title":"Hotel Honolulu: A Novel","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaul Theroux\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSoftcover, 432pp.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Softcover","offer_id":52781036175640,"sku":"9780618219155","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.nativebookshawaii.org\/products\/hotel-honolulu-a-novel","provider":"Native Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
