The Hotel New Hampshire
of John Irving (Goodreads Author)
Description
âThe first of my fatherâs illusions was that bears could survive the life lived by human beings, and the second was that human beings could survive a life led in hotels.â So says John Berry, son of a hapless dreamer, brother to a cadre of eccentric siblings, and chronicler of the lives lived, the loves experienced, the deaths met, and the myriad strange and wonderful times encountered by the family Berry. Hoteliers, pet-bear owners, friends of Freud (the animal trainer and vaudevillian, that is), and playthings of mad fate, they âdream onâ in a funny, sad, outrageous, and moving novel by the remarkable author of A Prayer for Owen Meany and Last Night in Twisted River.
