Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Hurricane Hotel is a surrealistic romp through the madness of the soul. It yanks the reader into a place in time that exists like a meteorite in the night sky; it shines brightly, then burns away in a glorious blast of light. Lawson's characters are sinuously developed to encase the reader in a quest to find the end of the story. And for those of us who have experience swimming through the sub-strata of the heavy New Orleans night, it makes it just in time, just before the street sweeper passes by outside the gates. Beware!
