The White Hotel by D.M. Thomas (Paperback, 1982)
ISBN-10: 0671439162
ISBN-13: 9780671439163
Fantasy and psychology combine in Thomas's novel to recount the story of Lisa Erdman, an early patient of Sigmund Freud who suffered from what Freud termed "sexual hysteria." 322 pages
PUBLISHERS NOTES: It is a dream of electrifying eroticism and inexplicable violence, recounted by a young woman to her analyst, Sigmund Freud. It is a horrifying yet restrained narrative of the Holocaust. It is a searing vision of the wounds of our century, and an attempt to heal them. Interweaving poetry and case history, fantasy and historical truth-telling, THE WHITE HOTEL is a modern classic of enduring emotional power that attempts nothing less than to reconcile the notion of individual destiny with that of historical fate. 'I quickly came to feel that I had found that book, that mythical book, that would explain us to ourselves' Leslie Epstein, New York Times
