At some Parisian lost-and-found, a mysterious manuscript scribbled
onto stray bits of hotel stationary and postcards and stuffed into
an abandoned briefcase comes into the hands of an "editor," who
claims to faithfully transcribe and assemble the random texts. On
the face of it, these consist of fastidious descriptions of a
series of hotel rooms in cities around the globe, but their
world-weary writer, a certain "Olivier Rolin," is also involved in
a number of highly improbable international networks, populated by
unsavory thugs and Mata Haris in distress. Author Olivier Rolin has
dipped into his extensive travel notebooks to create this highly
inventive novel that spoofs, among others, the decaying
international espionage scene, the literary author publicity tour,
and official French culture, all against a backdrop of the queasy
alienation secreted by standard-issue hotel rooms across the globe.
