Reviews
"The tale that Stephen dictates to Cora is entirely in the Crane mode, a brilliant pastiche of a writer dying yet not full-grown...but the title can be understood in another sense: This hotel of dreams is not the one in history; it's within Edmund White, a heartbreak hotel where, in a dreamlike fugue of styles, gay life past and present commingle in the streets of a lost New York made of a thousand details still vivid in the imagination of a novelist - not Crane, but White himself." -- Washington Post Book World "The environment of the city is evoked in such breathtaking language and with such flourishes of detail that it becomes a character in itself...the amount of research the author must have done to recreate a time and place from over a century ago is impressive, providing a believable backdrop into which White's entertaining story has been seamlessly woven...It sheds light upon a queer community that necessarily lived in the shadows and that has gone largely unacknowledged until recently. There are important stories buried between the lines of mainstream history books, and White has imaginatively excavated one such story, and done so with wit, gusto, and ingenuity." -- Gay People's Chronicle "White illuminates Crane's literary milieu, the urban gay subculture of his time, and the relationship of a writer's experience to his fiction...White presents a convincing version of how Crane...might have depicted a boy of the streets." -- The New Yorker "When Edmund White writes about Stephen Crane, it is the case of one American master turning his attention to another. The book is a marvel of the subtle layers of story-telling, and at every layer it is fascinating, tragic, and utterly beautiful." -- Ann Patchett "Edmund White is one of the three or four most virtuosic living writers of sentences in the English language." -- Dave Eggers In common parlance to say something is history is to say it's dead and gone. But in the writing of Edmund White, one of our most interesting, serious, and mischievous writers, history could not be more animated: the places where past meets present, fact meets fiction, masculine meets feminine, comic meets tragic, and Henry James meets Stephen Crane are all his areas of literary expertise, sparked by an unsurpassed boldness of imagination. White's cultural curiosity has always educated and startled. Here in Hotel de Dream it mesmerizes as well. -- Lorrie Moore "Vivid and powerful . . . [with] remarkable feats of stylistic impersonation, the language persuasive without seeming mannered . . . White deals elegantly with themes of literary influence, indebtedness, and impersonation." -- New York Times Book Review

Synopsis
"This hotel of dreams is not the one in history; it's within Edmund White, a heartbreak hotel where, in a dreamlike fugue of styles, gay life past and present commingle in the streets of a lost New York made of a thousand details still vivid in the imagination of a novelist - not Crane, but White himself." -- Washington Post Book World In a damp, old sussex castle, American literary phenomenon Stephen Crane lies on his deathbed, wasting away from tuberculosis at the age of twenty-eight. The world-famous author of The Red Badge of Courage has retreated to England with his wife, Cora, in part to avoid gossip about her ignominious past as the proprietress of a Florida bordello, the Hotel de Dream. Though Crane's days are numbered, he and Cora live riotously, running up bills they'll never be able to pay, receiving visitors like Henry James and Joseph Conrad, and even planning a mad dash to Germany's Black Forest, where Cora hopes a leading TB specialist will provide a miracle cure. Then, in the midst of the confusion and gathering tragedy of their lives, Crane begins dictating a strange novel. The Painted Boy draws from Crane's erstwhile journalist days in New York in the 1890s, a poignant story about a boy prostitute and the married man who ruins his own life to win the boy's love. Crane originally planned the book as a companion piece to Maggie, Girl of the Streets, but abandoned it when literary friends convinced him that such scandalous subject matter would destroy his career. Now, with his last breath, Crane devotes himself to refashioning this powerful novel, into which he pours his fascination with the underworld, his sympathy for the poor, his experiences as a reporter among New York's lowlife--and his complex feelings for his own devoted wife. Seamlessly flowing between the vibrant, seedy atmosphere of turn-of-the-century Manhattan and the quiet Sussex countryside, Hotel de Dream tenderly presents the double love stories of Cora and Crane, and the painted boy and his banker lover. The brilliant novel-within-a-novel combines the youthful simplicity of Crane's own prose with White's elegant sense of form, offering an unforgettable portrait of passion in all its guises., In a damp, old sussex castle, American literary phenomenon Stephen Crane lies on his deathbed, wasting away from tuberculosis at the age of twenty-eight.

Brilliantly researched and aching with life, Whites novel also explores the seedy underbelly of turn-of-the-century New York.
