Klappentext zu „Hotel De Dream “
A famed writer is travelling to a German clinic in search of a cure for the tuberculosis that threatens his life. Knowing it maybe his last chance, he dictates the story of "The Painted Boy", inspired by a real-life encounter. But as the story delves into the seedy underworld of turn-of -the-century Manhattan, Crane's health deteriorates and the outcome of the story becomes as critical as the author's life itself.

Rezension zu „Hotel De Dream “
'Eccentric, disgracefully funny and shockingly beautiful by turns; determined both to describe the world as it really is and to invent it anew' Guardian 'Powerful ... full of telling period detail and couched in White's customary honeyed prose ... This is a tender and moving book worthy of its distinguished protagonist' Daily Mail 'The masterfully multi-layered Hotel de Dream is an illuminating commentary on storytelling' Financial Times 'White's imaginative recreations of Crane's work provide the novel's best passages ... his mimetic prose is marvellously convincing ... engrossing' Sunday Times
