Don't Stop the Carnival
(eBook)
Description
The basis for the Herman Wouk-Jimmy Buffett musical: A middle-aged New Yorker buys a Caribbean hotel and learns that paradise has its drawbacks. Broadway press agent Norman Paperman is pushing fifty with one heart attack already under his belt. So, he decides to chuck the stressful Manhattan life and bring his wife and teenage daughter to a lush green island. With the help of a wheeler-dealer friend, he winds up buying a small hotel. How hard could running one be? Pretty hard, actually, when you throw in an earthquake, plumbing problems, rampaging ants, and a few more unexpected developments at the Gull Reef Club. Before long, Norman's spirit is as drained as his bank account, his marriage is on the brink, and he's desperately searching for a way out of this beautiful "Don't Stop the Carnival" is a clever comic departure for the award-winning, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of such classics as "Marjorie Morningstar", "The Winds of War", and "The Caine Mutiny"and eventually served as the basis for the celebrated Jimmy Buffett album and stage musical.
