Hotel Grand

An univited guest appears in Julio’s literary blog. Under the nickname Condoleezo, he publishes excerpts from what may possibly be his autobiographic novel. A lively discussion over the manuscript and the story –in which the 25-year-old Filip searches for clues of the past at Hotel Grand, a place from his childhood– ensues between him, Juilo, and the blog readers. Hotel Grand by Renato Baretić, partly a novel about growing up, partly sinister satire, is a clever and entertaining study of writing and the status of fiction and virtuality.
