'The White Hotel' is an extraordinary,daring colossus of a work in which is seen a startling poetry of violence and redemption.Fugue and threnody,it interlaces history,lush sexuality, psychological truth,fantasy and the craving for brutality,in the case-history of Lisa Erdman,a patient of Freud's.And travelling through the intricate patterns of her being,the reader is sent on an odyssey that seeks refuge beyond the nightmare of the twentieth century.
