About the Book:
A daring and unsettling modern classic, The White Hotel moves between lyricism, psychoanalytic case history, historical trauma, and dreamlike fantasy. Centred on Lisa Erdman, a patient of Freud, the novel interlaces the lush, the brutal, and the surreal into a narrative that asks how imagination, memory, sexuality, and violence coexist within the human psyche. Celebrated for its precision and intensity, it remains one of the most provocative literary works of the late 20th century.
