With equal parts affection and barbed wit, he uncovers the everyday chaos that reigns behind the smooth facades of the gilded dining room and banquet halls. In hilarious detail, Bemelmans sketches the hierarchy of hotel life and its strange and fascinating inhabitants: from the ruthlessly authoritarian mÌatre d'Ì¥htel Monsieur Victor to the kindly waiter Mespoulets to Frizl the homesick busboy. Illustrated with his own charming line drawings, Bemelmans' tales of a bygone era of extravagance are as charming as they are riotously entertaining." 600 10 $a Bemelmans, Ludwig, $d 1898-1962. 650 0 $a Hotels $z New York (State) $x Biography. $x Biography. 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $x Biography. $x Biography. 650 0 $a Hotels $z United States $x Employees $v Humor. 650 0 $a Hotels $z New York (State) $x Employees $v Fiction. 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815. 651 7 $a New York (State) $z New York. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204333. 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787. 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Essays. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Humor. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Creative nonfiction. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 2 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417020837.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230404020052.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=059AF6C8D2B111ED872B743748ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
