The Hotel New Hampshire (häftad, eng)

''The first of my father''s 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.''

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 BerryHoteliers, pet-bear owners, friends of Freud (the animal trainer and vaudevillian, that is), and playthings of mad fate, they ''dream on'' in this funny, sad, outrageous, and moving novel.
