[...] Bettina Matthias's study offers an informative,
well-researched, and useful resource that expands our understanding
of how authors employed hotel spaces to encapsulate the exploding
crises of modernity ....
*MODERN AUSTRIAN LITERATURE*
This entertaining and original monograph is part creative
non-fiction and part engaging scholarship.... Matthias presents
here an original and lively contribution to interdisciplinary
German studies, one which should be part of any library's
collection....
*MONATSHEFTE*
[A] fascinating and enlightening read.. With the goal of
constructing a place of reflection not only on the hotel novel, but
also about the idea of the hotel as a site of social-cultural
discourse, it fills a gap in literary and cultural critical
scholarship.
