Synopsis
"Die erste Illusion meines Vaters war, dass Bären ein Leben wie Menschen überleben könnten, und die zweite, dass Menschen ein Leben in Hotels überleben könnten." So sagt es John Berry, Sohn eines unglücklichen Träumers, Bruder einer Schar exzentrischer Geschwister und Chronist der gelebten Leben, der erlebten Lieben, der erlebten Tode und der unzähligen seltsamen und wundervollen Erlebnisse der Familie Berry. Hoteliers, Besitzer von Bären als Haustiere, Freunde Freuds (des Tierdompteurs und Varietékünstlers) und Spielball des verrückten Schicksals - sie „träumen weiter" in einem witzigen, traurigen, unerhörten und bewegenden Roman des bemerkenswerten Autors von „Ein Sohn des Zirkus" und „Ein Gebet für Owen Meany".
