SUMMARY:Rick Moody on Hotels of North America
DESCRIPTION:Join us and author (and Astorian!) Rick Moody for the paperback of his latest novel\, Hotels of North America\, the book NPR pegged as a “Great Read of 2015” and the New York Post called “required reading.” \nIn this darkly comic and inventive tale\, we meet Reginald Edward Morse\, a “solidly middle-aged” former finance industry trader\, sometime motivational speaker\, and top-10 reviewer on the fictional website RateYourLodging.com. Reginald’s many reviews—“often ambitious in length and scope\, with scant attention paid\, in some cases\, to the actual hotels being reviewed\,” according to Rick Moody\, who has been commissioned by the North American Society of Hoteliers and Innkeepers to write an afterword—reveal as much about identity\, intimacy\, loneliness\, and love as they do about the numerous hotels Reginald visits in his globetrotting. \nHilarious\, provocative\, and moving\, HOTELS OF NORTH AMERICA is a snapshot of our current tech-obsessed\, digital world—overly connected\, but personally disconnected—one in which “the inner mechanics of even our closest acquaintances are a mystery to us.” Like Reginald\, we\, too\, want proof that home exists and that we are not alone. \n
