    • Abstract:
      Robert Olen Butler's new novel, "A Small Hotel," is a brief, intense portrayal of the collapse of a marriage. It focuses on the three principals: the wife, Kelly, who has skipped out after failing to sign her divorce papers and fled from her home in Pensacola, Fla., to New Orleans; the husband, Michael, a lawyer, who is planning to formalize a new relationship; and his girlfriend, Laurie, a generation younger than Michael, who is confident that she has the insight and skills to satisfy a man who remains unsatisfied after two decades in an apparently conventional marriage.
