Rendition As Books Don't Stop the Carnival

It's every parrothead's dream: to leave behind the rat race of the workaday world and start life all over again amidst the cool breezes, sun-drenched colors, and rum-laced drinks of a tropical paradise. It's the story of Norman Paperman, a New York City press agent who, facing the onset of middle age, runs away to a Caribbean island to reinvent himself as a hotel keeper. (Hilarity and disaster -- of a sort peculiar to the tropics -- ensue.) It's the novel in which the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of such acclaimed and bestselling novels as The Caine Mutiny and War and Remembrance draws on his own experience (Wouk and his family lived for seven years on an island in the sun) to tell a story at once brilliantly comic and deeply moving.

Commentary Based On Books Don't Stop the Carnival

Wow! Norman Paperman had a gigantic, mind-numbing, mid-life crisis and Im glad I was allowed to witness it. This book had me howling with laughter throughout, but being a story populated with very real people, there were consequences and casualties. The end of the book was painful. Painful, because of what happens to the characters, but also because the story had ended and I wouldnt get to spend more time all the people I had met.The change in tone toward the end of the book, was initially

This book... objectively is a 3-4 star read but Im too close to it to be objective (this is a reread for me). Bad news first: its attitudes towards women, Caribbean people, and the LGBTQ community are ANTIQUATED. Capitalized. Underlined. Antiquated. However, considering that it was written in 1965 its forgivable in that it does accurately capture the zeitgeist of the time. The good news: the story is a tragicomedy about the illusionary paradise of running a hotel as an outsider in the Caribbean

An interesting tale of an expatriate trying to eek out a life in the Caribbean. Set in 1960s. Some of these things can still be felt happening today. The slowness of the Island, the government and the warmth of the people. good read .. a really quick ending but good read nonetheless

I enjoyed this light, dated (1965) novel by the master, Herman Wouk. He's the master of research and historical writing, but this was a clever and fun story.

Middle aged New York Jew buys hotel on Caribbean Island. He has a lot to learn. Whatever.

yeah, doesn't rate a 4th star but it's a quick easy read. guy gets bored with his life, guy does the mid-life crisis thing and buys a hotel on an island, hotel needs severe renovation, becomes local hero and sleeps with an alcoholic actress. Meh, little self serving but who isn't? I just might do the same in 'Ol Mejico.

A good holiday read.
