| book description |

Recounting an art dealer's recuperation from major surgery in the famous Claridge's Hotel in London, this idiosyncratic (and semi-autobiographical) novel interweaves reality with fantasy. Room 225-6 follows the author-character 'The Protagonist' - accompanied by his beloved terrier 'The Bitch' - around London's Mayfair as he hosts endless art world gatherings and tea parties for twenty, and visits a multitude of local galleries and shops. Incorporating multi-layered voices and devices, the distinctive narrative introduces the reader to a memorable host of characters - from the 'The Political Prisoner' to 'The Little Mondrian' - in a tale filled with humour of observation and incident. Bringing to life this frightening yet extraordinary period in one man's life, it is at once honest, satirical, idiotic and bold. Room 225-6 is sold to benefit the Oracle Cancer Trust (oraclecancertrust.org), the UK's leading national charity dedicated to funding head and neck cancer research.
