Description
Hotel is an Object Lessons title that explores the lives of ordinary things through beautifully designed books. In this memoir and meditation, Joanna Walsh reflects on her experiences as a hotel reviewer during a breakdown in her marriage.
The book visits various rooms, suites, hallways, and lobbies - spaces that shape our desires and make up modern sites of gathering and alienation. Through her observations, Walsh examines the intersection of luxury, sex, power, anonymity, and privacy in hotels.
