In this uproariously funny memoir, Ludwig Bemelmans uncovers the
fabulous world of the Hotel Splendide, the luxury New York hotel
where he worked as a waiter. With equal parts affection and barbed
wit, he records the everyday chaos that reigns behind the smooth
facades of the gilded dining room and banquet halls. In hilarious
detail, Bemelmans sketches the hierarchy of hotel life and its
strange and fascinating inhabitants: from the ruthlessly
authoritarian maitre d'hotel Monsieur Victor to the kindly waiter
Mespoulets to Frizl the homesick busboy. Illustrated with his own
charming line drawings, Bemelmans' tales of a bygone era of
extravagance are as charming as they are riotously entertaining.
