Book Reviews of Hotel Honolulu: A Novel
Book Review: "Hotel Honolulu"
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is written very much is the quasi-memoir form of Theroux's "My Other Life," and, just like the aforesaid mentioned titled, it works. Theroux's narrator is a transplanted, washed-up writer, who moves to Hawaii from London (just as did the author) to escape the literary life. He encounters a culture that is half-formed and unliterary, which the unnamed narrator, and Theroux, seems to consider both laughable and noble. These interwoven stories carve a good depiction of modern Hawaii and the expatriates who find new lives there. For those who are familiar with the author's opinions and literary travails, this book reads like an atonement; and makes for very good, and very easy, reading.
