Hailed as “ future cult classic” by The New York Times Book Review, The Third Hotel is a haunting, beautifully shape-shifting novel from an inventive author at the height of her narrative powers.Ī simple question and yet she could not find a simple answer. As the distinction between reality and fantasy starts to blur, Clare’s role in her husband’s death and reappearance is called into question, and truths about their marriage begin to surface. Grief-stricken and baffled, Clare tails Richard, clocking his every move. Clare decides to acquaint herself with the newly tourist-filled streets of Havana, and as she passes a museum, discovers her husband wearing a white linen suit she’s never seen before. She was supposed to be there with her film scholar husband, Richard, but he was hit by a car five weeks prior. At the opening of Laura van den Berg’s The Third Hotel, we see Clare arrive in Havana, Cuba, to attend the annual Festival of New Latin American Cinema. ![]()
