A French pioneer of silent films, who started out as a concession agent for the Lumiere brothers, the inventors of cinema, Claude now spends his days foraging mushrooms in the hills of Los Angeles and taking photographs of runaways and the striplings along Sunset Boulevard. But when a film-history student comes to interview Claude about the hotel, the lost masterpiece that bankrupted him and ended the career of his muse, Sabine Montrose, the past comes surging back. In his run-down hotel suite, the ravages of the past are waiting to be excavated: celluloid fragments and reels in desperate need of restoration, and Claude's memories of the woman who inspired and beguiled him. 650 0 Cinematographers|vFiction. 650 0 Film historians|vFiction. 650 0 Silent films|vFiction. 650 0 Hotels|zCalifornia|zLos Angeles|vFiction. 651 0 Hollywood (Los Angeles, Calif.)|vFiction. 655 7 Audiobooks.|2lcgft 655 7 Historical fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 Historical fiction.|2gsafd 700 1 Ballerini, Edoardo,|d1970-|enarrator. 994 C0|bCKE
