DESCRIPTION - In the fragrant, steamy kitchen of the Hercules Cafe in a seedy London district Gilbert Firestone, loving and faithful family-man to his common-law wife, Olive, and foundling son, Frank, cooks up simple stews and elaborate dreams. He yearns to travel the world and capture the adventure-paradise he and his soul mate, Sam Pilchard, sought during their salad days, wandering the world, saucepans in hand. When Olive dies, drowned in a pan of meat soup, he seizes the chance to make his dream come true. With Frank and the cafe's sexy punk waitress, Veronica, in tow, Gilbert heads for remote Bilharzia in West Africa to join Sam at his jungle hotel. What he finds there is a world far more dangerous and corrupt than the one he imagines he left behind - a dizzying quagmire of madness and decay. Sensuous, outrageously funny and wildly inventive, HOTEL PLENTI is an entertainment of the highest order - one that elicits whoops and belly laughs while delivering a deceptively poignant and penetrating fable of the universal quest for more. The New Yorker called Gibson's DANCING WITH MERMAIDS 'a wild, poetic exhalation that sparkles and hoots and flies.' inventory #10404. N° de réf. du vendeur z10404

Etat : NEAR FINE. The author's third novel described by Publisher's Weekly as "almost a brilliant book." In it, Gilbert and Olive, two oddballs who run a in a factory district of London, find a newborn baby left under a table. Frank grows up to be a remarkably normal youth who has absorbed Gilbert's fascination for cooking and eating. After Olive dies unexpectedly, Gilbert persuades Frank and Veronica to join him in an adventure that reunites him with an old crony, Sam Pilchard who runs a hotel in remote Bilharzia, a village deep in West Africa. They survive their perilous journey to Bilharzia, but discover that Sam has lied in his letters: the hotel has plenty of nothing. It is a rotting, dank mess. .264 pp. Very good in a near fine jacket (missing front free endpaper). N° de réf. du vendeur 85071
