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.
