A deeply funny and poignant debut novel about a once-famous artist whose newest obsession is his reviews...on AirBed.
Bennett Driscoll has finally reached "Super Host" status. A demarcation for the best-of-the-best hosts on AirBed, a popular vacation rental site, "Super Hosts" pride themselves on quick response rates and excellent reviews of their homes. In fact, Bennett's reviews on AirBed are some of the best of his career. Once a Turner Prize-nominated artist, he hasn't sold a painting in two years and hasn't been reviewed in five.
Recently divorced, and left without his wife's steady salary, Bennett is forced to rent his large west London home and move into his artist's studio in the back garden. The rentals mean he's making his own money again, but with his daughter Mia off at art school and any new relationships fizzling out at best, Bennett struggles to find a purpose in his day-to-day. That all changes when three different guests--lonely American Alicia, Emma, who struggles with OCD, and recent divorcee Kirstie--unlock the pieces of himself that have been lost to him for too long.
Bighearted and sharply funny, Super Host captures the joy, and terror, of rediscovering oneself and what it truly means to take a new chance at life.
