Room 225-6 by Karsten Schubert
Written by the author of the bestselling The Curator's Egg.Recounting an art dealer's recuperation from major surgery in the famous Claridge's Hotel in London, this idiosyncratic novel interweaves reality with fantasy.Room 225-6 follows the author-character 'The Protagonist' around London's Mayfair as he hosts endless art world gatherings, tea parties for twenty and visits a multitude of local galleries and stores.Incorporating multi-layered voices and devices, the distinctive narrative introduces the reader to a memorable host of characters - from the 'The Political Prisoner' to 'The Little Mondrian' - in a tale filled with humour of observation and incident.Bringing to life this frightening yet extraordinary period in one man's life, it is at once honest, satirical, idiotic and bold.Karsten Schubert was a Anglo-German art dealer, collector, writer and co-founder of art imprint Ridinghouse. Through his eponymous gallery, established in London in 1986, he represented artists such as Bridget Riley and Alison Wilding, and was an early champion of YBA artists Michael Landy, Rachel Whiteread, Ian Davenport and Gary Hume. He died in 2019.
