Recounting an art dealer's recuperation from major surgery in the famous Claridge's Hotel in London, this idiosyncratic novel interweaves reality with fantasy. Room 225-6 follows the author-character 'The Protagonist' around London's Mayfair as he hosts endless art world gatherings, tea parties for twenty and visits a multitude of local galleries and stores. 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.
