The White Hotel
by D.M. Thomas
1981/274 pages
rating 8.5 / 20th century fiction

Totally pandering and gratuitous in every sense to start out, bolstered by the inclusion of Freud – not terribly laudatory,  the narrative in general is a very stylish, literary type production and is NOT quite what it seems.  After the opening Freud letters comes an erotic poem apparently by a nymphomaniac woman.  Then, in a new section, but possibly same woman, anonymous sex on a train and a fantastical hugely symbolic excursion through a “white hotel.”   This is impossible to summarize or even give much of a review. >>>>MORE>>>>
