In the Caribbean, Hawaii, Capri, in fact wherever people seek in vain to escape from their true selves, they wryly laugh at and quote "Don't Stop the Carnival." This is Herman Wouk's authentic picture of hotel-keeper Norman Paperman, discovering a new illicit love with a fading film star, amid zany mishaps and disasters recognizable to anyone who has lived on an island in the sun. Wouk and his family did just that for seven years. "My wife and I almost went out of our minds, " he has written, "but much of the time we laughed like hell, and so survived. I trust that what is mainly preserved in this tale is the laughter."

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Good. 384 pages. Cover wornIt'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-lace d drinks of a tropical paradise. It's the story of Norman Paperma n, a New York City press agent who, facing the onset of middle ag e, runs away to a Caribbean island to reinvent himself as a hotel keeper. (Hilarity and disaster -- of a sort peculiar to the trop ics -- ensue.) It's the novel in which the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of such acclaimed and bestselling novels as The Caine Mut iny and War and Remembrance draws on his own experience (Wouk and his family lived for seven years on an island in the sun) to tel l a story at once brilliantly comic and deeply moving.
