D.M. Thomas – The White Hotel – SIGNED First Edition 1981
£185.00
A first edition, first printing of The White Hotel by D M Thomas, published by Victor Gollancz, London in 1981. A fine book dated and inscribed in red ink to the front free end paper by a previous owner, similarly dated and inscribed in black ink to the title page by the author, light toning to the text block, single spot to the top edge of text block. In a fine unclipped wrapper with slight fading to the spine. Jacket illustration by Martin Ware.
The White Hotel by D. M. Thomas is a modernist novel blending psychoanalysis, history and imagination. Framed through Sigmund Freud’s case study of a patient called Lisa Erdman, the narrative moves from erotic poetry and therapy sessions to the brutality of the Holocaust. It explores trauma, memory, desire and the limits of interpretation. Bold in form and theme, the novel challenges readers with its shifting voices, unsettling imagery and a haunting vision of personal and collective suffering.
