The 'compulsively and clockracingly readable' novel (New York Times Book Review) that captures the comedy and tragedy of island life and inspired a Jimmy Buffett musical.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, sundrenched colors, and rumlaced 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 Prizewinning 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.
