Longlisted for the 2023 DUBLIN Literary Award "[Grand Hotel Europa] calls to mind Nabokov, Tom Wolfe, Baudrillard, Umberto Eco, Wes Anderson . . . [a novel of] incorrigible high spirits." —Rand Richards Cooper, The New York Times Book Review A sweeping, atmospheric novel about European identity, centered on a hotel that encapsulates the continent's manifold contradictions. The love of my life lives in my past. Despite the alliteration it’s a terrible line to have to write. I don’t want to come to the conclusion, just as the hotel I’m staying in and the continent it is named after, that the best times are behind me and that I’ve little more to expect of the future than living off my past. A writer takes up residence in the stately but decaying Grand Hotel Europa in order to contemplate where things went wrong with Clio—an art historian and the love of his life. His recollections take him back to when they first met in Genoa, his wanton visits to her in Venice, and their dulcet trips to Malta, Palmaria, Portovenere, and the Cinque Terre in their thrilling search for the last painting made by Caravaggio. Meanwhile, he becomes fascinated by the mysteries of the Grand Hotel Europa and the memorably eccentric characters who inhabit it, all of whom seem to hail from a halcyon era. All the while, globalization is laying claim to even this place, where a sense of lost glory hangs sulkily in the air. Grand Hotel Europa is Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer’s masterly novel of the old continent, where there's so much history that there hardly seems space left for a future. Cinematic, lyrical, and brimming with humor, this is a novel about the European condition, which like the staff and residents of the Grand Hotel Europa may have already seen its best days.

Mientras se documenta para un libro sobre el turismo de masas, un escritor llamado Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer sufre una dolorosa ruptura sentimental y decide dejarlo todo para poner orden en sus recuerdos. El lugar que elige para su retiro es el Grand Hotel Europa, un establecimiento de pasado ilustre y futuro incierto habitado por un elenco de personajes estrambóticos. El autor se impone la tarea de reconstruir por escrito su explosiva relación con Clío, una historiadora del arte italiana con una audaz teoría sobre el último cuadro de Caravaggio, y a medida que él avanza en su cometido incrementa su fascinación por los misterios del hotel. Las conversaciones con los demás huéspedes, entretanto, lo llevan a reflexionar sobre la decadencia del Viejo Continente. «Grand Hotel Europa» es una monumental novela que dialoga «sotto voce» con grandes pensadores y escritores europeos, desde Virgilio, Horacio o Séneca, pasando por Dante, hasta Thomas Mann y George Steiner. «Entre la fantasía y la ironía, con mil y un guiños culturalistas y de nuestra vida más inmediata y contemporánea, Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer ha escrito una novela de imaginación desbordante y gozosa. Una fantástica metáfora de nuestro Viejo Continente». Mercedes Monmany, ABC «Narrado desde el punto de vista de un escritor de guías turísticas, Grand Hotel Europa reflexiona sobre las flaquezas del viejo continente. El apabullante bagaje cultural del autor llena el libro de referencias interesantes». Sagrario Fernández-Prieto, La Razón «Esta es una novela caleidoscópica que lejos de abrumar por su complejidad ofrece sus casi 650 páginas al pleno disfrute, porque Pfeijffer se las ingenia para que todas las piezas de este rompecabezas de personajes, tramas, situaciones, escenarios y reflexiones encajen a la perfección». Antonio J. Ubero, La Opinión de Murcia «Grand Hotel Europa es probablemente la mejor novela que se ha escrito sobre el turismo de masas. Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer entrevera la ficción y la novela de ideas en esta robusta y elegante simbiosis. Perspicaz y chispeante». Iñigo Urrutia, Diario Vasco «Pfeijffer ha escrito una novela grande abarrotada de pequeños y valiosos ensayos. Una reflexión profunda y necesaria sobre el futuro de Europa». Fulgencio Argüelles, El Comercio «Grand Hotel Europa es provocadora, festiva, jovial, irónica, cómica, erótica y crítica». Alfredo Urdaci, FanFan «Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer analiza muy a fondo el fenómeno del turismo de masas en esta obra, con frecuencia en forma ensayística y mediante diálogos entre el autor y otros personajes, y recurriendo no pocas veces al humor». Isabel-Clara Lorda Vidal, Frontera D «El relato edifica un universo tan seductor, misterioso y rico que el lector querrá vivir en él, pese a lo decadente y extravagante que pueda parecer». La Voz de Galicia «Pfeijffer plantea la necesidad de un debate de largo alcance sobre el fenómeno del turismo de masas y pone las bases para ello con tanta soltura como contundencia». Jaime Priede, La Nueva España «Pfeijffer ha escrito un libro de viajes, arte y turismo que contiene también la huella de una historia de amor. Una novela total». J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, El Correo «Una novela extraordinariamente ambiciosa que consigue su propósito: fascinar al lector. Una vez la empiezas no la puedes dejar, como toda obra maestra. La novela del año». NRC Handelsblad «Una obra maestra, escrita con un estilo tan brillante como atemporal». Trouw «Una novela fascinante y extraordinaria que no se olvida fácilmente». La Stampa

Rupert has been accused of a terrible crime and his imagined defense begins the night he met the love of his life, Mira. By turns shockingl honest, incredibly funny and clearly unhinged, Rupert's defense includes rants about the properly formed insult and men in sweaters. It also visits the memory sites of Rupert and Mira's short lived affair. With each story Rupert attaches to these places his defense becomes a little more outlandish, while he comes convinced that his innocence is beyond doubt. A brilliant monologue that fully exposes the inner workings of the mind.

Download a free excerpt from Laurie Frankel's One Two Three. From the New York Times bestselling author of This Is How It Always Is, a Reese's Book Club x Hello Sunshine Book Pick, comes a timely, topical novel about love and family that will make you laugh and cry...and laugh again. How do you let go of the past when the past won't let go of you? Everyone knows everyone in the tiny town of Bourne. But the Mitchell sisters are especially beloved, and not just because they’re teenage triplets. Mirabel is the smartest person anyone has ever met, and no one is fooled by her wheelchair or her Voice app into thinking otherwise. Monday is the town’s purveyor of books now that the library’s closed—tell her the book you think you want, and she’ll pull the one you actually do from the microwave or her underwear drawer. Mab’s job is hardest of all: get good grades, get into college, get out of Bourne. For a few weeks seventeen years ago, Bourne was national news when its water turned green and was declared unfit for use, but it was too late for its residents. And just when it seems life might go on the same forever, the first moving truck anyone’s seen in years pulls up. Then a new student enrolls at Bourne Memorial High. He’s smart and handsome and exciting—and the Mitchell family’s sworn enemy. And soon, in a town where nothing ever changes, suddenly everything does.

From the New York Times bestselling author of We Must Be Brave comes a new sweeping historical novel about one couple’s journey through war, love, and loss, and how the people we love never really leave us. An epic love. A second chance. During the perils of World War II in Alexandria, Egypt, two people from different worlds will find their way back to each other time and time again, their love a beacon for their survival. After the war, James and Yvette establish roots in England hoping for a new beginning, until a tragic event drives a wedge between them and the path back to each other is one they both must be brave enough to face. Decades later, and ten years after his wife’s death, James moves to the English village of Upton seeking change. When he discovers a scarf that might have been Yvette’s, James begins to unlock revelations about his past that just might return his lost faith to him—faith in God, in humanity, in himself, and perhaps most important of all, his faith in love.
