Description

"In a Hotel Garden" is the strangest and most enigmatic of Gabriel Josipovici's many strange, enigmatic novels.

On the surface it is a simple story of the growing obsession young Englishman with a Jewish woman he meets on holiday.

Gradually it reveals itself as an exploration of power of memory and imagination, also raising vividly the question of how far it is possible for non-Jews to understand Jews, however intrigued by them they may be.

In a haunting play of echoes the novel presents us not with hotel garden but two, embedded respectively in the stony landscape of Tuscany and in the forested mountains of Alto Adige; not one story of erotic obsession but two, played out in Italy in the 1920s, the other in present-day London.

A great walk over a mountain in the Dolomites forms the mysterious centre of this book.

Behind the story looms our dilemma of coming to terms with the destruction of European Jews.
