Kom lad os danse calypso

Da den midaldrende newyorker Norman Paperman ankommer til den caribiske ø Kinja, kan han næsten ikke tro sine egne øjne. Det er som at være rejst to hundrede år tilbage i tiden til et sandt paradis. For en livslang byboer i midtvejskrise er det det perfekte sted at lægge hele sin tilværelse om og genopfinde sig selv. Normans caribiske eventyr bliver imidlertid ikke lutter lagkage, for livet på en ferieø er noget helt andet, når man skal bestyre et hotel, end når man bare skal bo på det.

"Kom lad os danse calypso" er inspireret af Herman Wouks egne erfaringer som hotelbestyrer på den caribiske ø St. Thomas og er en bidende sjov satire over livet på en ferieø for en byrotte.

"Kom lad os danse calypso" er en genudgivelse af et tidligere værk udgivet med datidens sprogbrug

Herman Wouk (1915-2019) var en amerikansk bestsellerforfatter, der skrev en lang række historiske romaner, der opnåede stor popularitet verden over. Han vandt Pulitzer-prisen for romanen "Mytteriet på Caine", og hans trilogier "Europa i flammer" og "Verden i flammer" blev filmatiseret og vist på fjernsynet i talrige lande.
