RIDINGHOUSE

Room 225-6: A Novel

By Karsten Schubert.

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.

In memory of Ridinghouse publisher Karsten Schubert

We are very sad to hear of the death of Karsten Schubert, publisher of Ridinghouse and famed gallerist who did so much to shape the landscape of British art in the 1990s.
