Description
The worldwide bestselling, Booker-shortlisted modern classic Now a BBC radio play starring Anne-Marie Duff and Bill Paterson, dramatised by Dennis Potter. 'Spine-tingling... heart-stunning' New York Times 'A novel of blazing imaginative and intellectual force' Salman Rushdie 'This novel is a reminder that fiction can amaze' Time 'Precise, troubling, brilliant' Observer Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, The White Hotel is a modern classic of searing eroticism and sensuality set against the broad sweep of twentieth-century history. It is a dream of electrifying eroticism and inexplicable violence, recounted by a young woman to her analyst, Sigmund Freud. It is a horrifying yet restrained narrative of the Holocaust. It is a searing vision of the wounds of our century and an attempt to heal them. Interweaving poetry and case history, fantasy and historical truth-telling, The White Hotel is a modern classic of enduring emotional power that attempts nothing less than to reconcile the notion of individual destiny with that of historical fate. 'A remarkable and original novel . . . there is no novel to my knowledge which resembles this in technique or ideas. It stands alone' Graham Greene 'Astonishing . . . A forthright sensuality mixed with a fine historical feeling for the nightmare moments in modern history, a dreamlike fluidity and quickness' John Updike 'A dazzler that lingers in the mind' People
