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.
