Aaahh.. Call It Sleep - a total joy to read. I must have been about 20 or 21.  I've been really looking at Omensetters Luck for years now and although Theroux is a long time favorite I've not read Hotel Honolulu.   I'm going to have to get over to Amazon and add a few goodies to my wish list there.  Thanks for the memories and the suggestions.

I wanted to make a film out of it, using an old black and white Errol Flynn pirate movie for the insert. Don't recall much discussion of Gardner's work except "Grendel".
