SUMMARY

Arthur Rimbaud's invented Splendide-H tel, "built in the chaos of ice and of the polar night," provides the occasion for Gilbert Sorrentino's imaginative meditation on letters and language. Each chapter serves as an opportunity for the author to expand on thoughts and images suggested by a letter of the alphabet, as well as to reflect upon the workings of the imagination, particularly in the art of William Carlos Williams and Arthur Rimbaud. Reminiscent of the philosophical treatise/poem On Being Blue by William H. Gass, Splendide-H tel is a Grand Hotel of the mind, splendidly conceived.Sorrentino, Gilbert is the author of 'Splendide-Hotel' with ISBN 9780811205146 and ISBN 0811205142.
