Therefore, he decides to visit the hotel he once resided with his then girlfriend Kiki. Like in all the other books in the series, he is a guy that goes with the flow. Not that he hasn't got to cope with other trials, he just doesn't mind them anymore. The only problem he faces is that a woman trapped in a wreck of a hotel cries for him in his sleep. Still a huge and effective anti-capitalist and now-divorced, the hero of the novel works as a commercial writer and reviewer, and as a matter of fact he excels at it, a circumstance that provides him with a kind of “social rehabilitation”. Nevertheless, our anonymous protagonist, now 35, is very close of finding a way out from his struggles.
While there's no tight plot in any of them, the concepts of social resistance, existential dead end, sexuality and, of course, what else, but the loneliness of a man – a man without a woman- are common in all four books. “Pinball, 1973”, for instance, was a draft in 1972 and remained so until 1980, which means that the first part of the series literally was the second to be published.
There's no need to read the novels in the order of their release.
