A review by helenmcclory
Hotel by Joanna Walsh

4.0

A book of essays that spark about, making connections at high speed - like someone playing a game I was often unsure I knew the rules of (my failing, not the book - or the failing brought on by my head cold). It was lively and engaging and wry and very clever. My favourite essay was no. 9., on the Grand Hotel, a film I watched just as I was starting the book, because of a reference to it. Wonderfully insightful piece on it.
