He is not the man she remembers exactly, but still, she is certain, he is her husband. Not long after arriving in Cuba, she spots Richard standing outside the Museum of the Revolution. She is there, ostensibly, to attend the annual Festival of New Latin Cinema in the place of Richard, her husband, a scholar of horror movies. The story follows Clare, a widow still mourning her husband’s sudden death, as she travels to Havana. Laura van den Berg’s brilliant new novel, The Third Hotel, is a quasi-supernatural tale of loss and grief, told with an exquisite flair for language.
