She's been here once before. In the years since, the room hasn't changed, but she has. Forever caught between check-in and check-out, she will go on to occupy other hotel rooms. From Avignon to Oslo, Auckland to Austin, each is as anonymous as the last but bound by rules of her choosing. There, amid the detritus of her travels, the matchbooks, cigarettes, keys and room-service wine, she negotiates with her memories, with the men she sometimes meets, with the clich s invented to aggravate middle-aged women, with those she has lost or left behind--and with what it might mean to return home. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUrgent and immersive, filled with black humour and desire, McBride's \u003ci\u003eStrange Hotel\u003c\/i\u003e is a novel of enduring emotional force.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEimear McBride\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the novels \u003ci\u003eThe Lesser Bohemians\u003c\/i\u003e (winner of the James Tait Black Memorial Prize) and \u003ci\u003eA Girl Is a Half-formed Thing\u003c\/i\u003e (winner of the Bailey's Women's Prize for Fiction, the Kerry Group Irish Novel of the Year Award, the Goldsmiths Prize, and others).
