Hotel de Dream by Edmund White
A moving, expertly crafted novel from one of New York's most prolific authors
‘Eccentric, disgracefully funny and shockingly beautiful by turns; determined both to describe the world as it really is and to invent it anew' * Guardian *
‘Powerful.. full of telling period detail and couched in White's customary honeyed prose .... This is a tender and moving book worthy of its distinguished protagonist' * Daily Mail *
‘The masterfully multi-layered Hotel de Dream is an illuminating commentary on storytelling' * Financial Times *
‘White's imaginative recreations of Crane's work provide the novel's best passages ... his mimetic prose is marvellously convincing ... engrossing' * Sunday Times *
