520 "A writer takes up residence in the stately but decaying
Grand Hotel Europa in order to contemplate where things
went wrong with Clio--an art historian and the love of his
life. His recollections take him back to when they first
met in Genoa, his wanton visits to her in Venice, and
their dulcet trips to Malta, Palmaria, Portovenere, and
the Cinque Terre in their thrilling search for the last
painting made by Caravaggio. Meanwhile, he becomes
fascinated by the mysteries of the Grand Hotel Europa and
the memorably eccentric characters who inhabit it, all of
whom seem to hail from a halcyon era. All the while,
globalization is laying claim to even this place, where a
sense of lost glory hangs sulkily in the air. Grand Hotel
Europa is Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer's masterly novel of the
old continent, where there's so much history that there
hardly seems space left for a future. Cinematic, lyrical,
and brimming with humor, this is a novel about the
European condition, which like the staff and residents of
the Grand Hotel Europa may have already seen its best
days."--|cProvided by publisher.
