itspeachie's review against another edition
reflective
sad
5.0
a masterful depiction of the staggering microcosm that large hotels are, of the complex cases of the human condition that lie behind each door but soon leave out the revolving door as yet another face to be forgotten in the dreary crowd.
Everyone lives behind double doors and has no companion but his reflection in the mirror or his shadow on the wall. People brush past one another in the passages, say good morning or good evening in the Lobby, sometimes even enter into a brief conversation painfully ranked together out of the barren topics of the day. A glance at another doesn’t go up as far as the eyes. It stops at his clothes. Perhaps it happens that a dance in the Yellow Pavilion brings two bodies into contact. Perhaps someone steals out of his room into another’s. That is all. Behind it lies an abyss of loneliness. Each in his own room is alone with his own ego and is little concerned with another’s.
