Hotels of North America

By Rick Moody
Hotels of North America by Rick Moody digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The acclaimed author's “formally daring, often very funny, and surprisingly moving” portrait of a man who comes to life in his online hotel reviews  (Jeff Turrentine, Washington Post).

Reginald Edward Morse is one of the top reviewers on RateYourLodging.com, where his many reviews reveal more than just details of hotels around the globe—they tell his life story. The puzzle of Reginald's life comes together through reviews that comment upon his motivational speaking career, the dissolution of his marriage, the separation from his beloved daughter, and his devotion to an amour known only as "K."

But when Reginald disappears, we are left with the fragments of a life which writer Rick Moody must make sense of. An inventive blurring of the lines between the real and the fabricated, Hotels of North America demonstrates Moody's masterly ability to push the bounds of the novel.

“This book wasn't necessarily bad, it was just boring. I didn't feel connected to the narrator, and felt like the review format kept the reader at arms length. I was interested in what this was going to be, but I think I would have preferred to read an actual guidebook of reviews, based on how boring this was.”
