	Hotel (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hotel is a 1965 novel by Arthur Hailey.
		The novel was adapted into a movie in 1967, and later into a television series.
		Hailey's meticulous research means that he is big on telling details, especially regarding the dark side of the hotel: Meg Yetmein, the cleaning lady, "gets hers back" by smuggling out steaks under her clothing toward the end of her shift; Tom Earlshore, the fired bartender, does much the same by "skimming" liquor.

	The 3Cities Project: Conferences / Nottingham / Douglas Tallack Waiting, Waiting essay
		The hotel lobby exemplifies this problem, to which the detective novel with its gradually revealed emplotment of apparently anonymous characters is an exaggerated reaction.
		Hotel lobbies are spaces waiting to be given meaning by purposeful narratives and minimal signs of activity, the checking of a watch or a brief exchange of glances, stimulate a hermeneutics of suspicion, a preoccupation with the visual signs or clues which will turn banality into intrigue, routine into a plot.
		Hopper represents the hotel lobby as a type of border area, it is a zonal interior through which people come and go, pass in and out and sometimes loiter between the public world of the city street and the private world of the hotel rooms upstairs.

	Eshelman - Performatism vs. Late Postmodernism
		Although in the novel five striking individuals dominate each section--they are, in order of appearance, the victim herself, the hotel’s receptionist, a homeless woman, a female journalist, and Sara’s sister--our identification with these figures is constantly being disturbed, undermined, or sabotaged entirely.
		By contrast, the hotel tempts its visitors with a false temporality, a false experience of transcendence: the hotel’s brochure indeed promises that "a transcendent time is waiting to be had by all" (181).
		Since "Hotel Capital" was written before the actual advent of capitalism in Poland and because Tokarczuk has since then addressed historical and psychological rather than topical themes, it’s not as easy to pigeonhole her politically as it is Roy.

	RCF - Book Reviews
		It is appropriate that his novel is, in part, a meditation on the eccentric Mina Loy.
		The repeated references to texts—the dissertation, the journal of Rosellen and her lover, Charles Stanfied, the guest book in the mysterious hotel in the jungle—are repeated in the novel’s fascination with Monica Swift’s poetry in 1922.
		Thus the novel resembles the hotel—both are structures which fuse creation and decay—and like the hotel, the novel is for the brave explorer who seeks terrifying beauty (or beautiful terror).

	BookPage Between the Wines Review: Hotel Honolulu
		That the book's title echoes Grand Hotel is no accident, of course; the "plot" is primarily a series of character vignettes that only occasionally intersect, though they often shine a cold glitter of inference on one another.
		The happenings at the hotel are by turns raunchy, grisly and hilarious.
		While the narrator makes lots of allowances for himself, pretending that his passivity is a sort of free pass, he trains an unyielding eye on the other inhabitants of this tawdry part of paradise.

	Review: Moonlight Hotel - Arts & Leisure - International Herald Tribune
		But Anderson is very careful, very disciplined, in his creation of a generic country, its politics and its war, because he is writing not about any one place he knows, but all of them, as well as the dynamics of powerful nations that involve themselves in bad wars in faraway places.
		The promotional material that accompanies the reviewer's copy of "Moonlight Hotel" has fished up a superb quotation from the historian Arnold Toynbee: "America is a large, friendly dog in a very small room.
		Every time it wags its tail, it knocks over a chair." In this novel, written in the American colonial period that replaced the British, the wag is savage and ruinous, and it knocks over all the chairs.
