"Arthur Rimbaud's invented 'Splendide-Hotel,' "built in the chaos of ice and of the polar night," provides the occasion for 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-HOTEL is a Grand Hotel of the mind, splendidly conceived." [publisher copy] Alphabetricks abound among Sorrentino's many mini meditations and/or playful/critical prose poems.
