Flashback Hotel

by Ivan Vladislavic

Genres: Magical Realism; Short Stories

Synopsis

Collects two volumes of short stories by one of contemporary South Africa's most acclaimed novelists.

With a tender wit, Vladislavić cuts through the ordinary, the profound, and the truly perplexing to reveal absurdities and truisms alike. From a man who forms a strong emotional attachment to his neighbor's wall to the etymology-obsessed inventor of the Omniscope, Vladislavic's characters are as well-constructed as his sentences and as playful as his prose. Flashback Hotel collects two volumes of short stories by one of contemporary South Africa's most acclaimed novelists.
