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 nightmare . . . Don't Stop the Carnival is a clever comic departure for the Pulitzer Prize–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. "Funny [and] continuously entertaining. . . . Norman Paperman, although hardly an admirable person, is exceedingly human and entirely believable. One cringes with sympathy for him." -The New York Times "His sandy beaches are alive with stinging sand flies . . . farce laced with tears." -Time [url] => https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/16963368 [pa] => [subtitle] => A Novel [publisher] => Open Road Media [purchaseModel] => INSTANT )
