Resumen
Hotel World was the winner of the Encore Award 2002 and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and the Orange Prize for fiction in 2001. Five people: four are living, three are strangers, two are sisters, one is dead. Hotel World takes us through a night in the life of five peoples very different worlds. Its luxurious for some, but a long drop for others. Cash or credit? Ali Smiths innovative and extraordinary new novel checks us in to the smooth plush world of the Global. But is it really the kind of place you want to spend the rest of your life in? Playful, defiant, richly inventive, Hotel World is a riotous elegy, a deadpan celebration, an alchemy of opposite worlds colliding to make a modern parable of connection and indifference, and, in the end, a defence of love. Forget room service. This is a life-affirming book about death, a death-affirming book about life. Check-out is at noon.
