"Every place I visited," says Hudson Strode, "was like a surprise
package to be opened, and I untied the strings with high
expectations." Reading The Eleventh House: Memoirs is like going to
a party of smartly dressed guests. Strode starts his foreign
travels in Sorrento with Dante's descendant Count Dante
Serego-Alighieri as his guide. He takes a Russian cattle boat to
Tunisia and lunches with the lovely Countess de Brazza. Then he
embarks on a whirlwind tour of South America and writes South by
Thunderbird. Later, in England, he visits Rebecca West at her
country home and strikes up a warm friendship with Lady Astor. In
Denmark his hostess is Isak Dinesen. In Finland he meets Jan
Sibelius. Such are the times of Hudson Strode. With his keen eye
for settings, with candor, energy, and curiosity, Strode sees his
famous friends closely and wholly. His is a unique account. The
Eleventh House is the story of a rewarding and fascinating life
told by a man who remembers it all with affection. He tells it for
the record and as great entertainment.
