  Dr. Edith Vane, scholar of English literature, is contentedly ensconced at the University of Inivea. Her dissertation on pioneer housewife memoirist Beulah Crump-Withers is about to be published, and her job's finally safe, if she only can fill out her AAO properly. She's a little anxious, but a new floral blouse and her therapist's repeated assurance that she is the architect of her own life should fix that. All should be well, really. Except for her broken washing machine, her fickle new girlfriend, her missing friend Coral, her backstabbing fellow professors, a cutthroat new dean - and the fact that the sentient and malevolent Crawley Hall has decided it wants them all out, and the hall and its hellish hares will stop at nothing to get rid of them.

  Venusberg - A Novel

  Anthony Powell

  An English journalist encounters dangerous hijinks on the Baltic Sea in this satirical novel by the author of A Dance to the Music of Time. 
   
  Written from a vantage point both high and deliberately narrow, the early novels of Anthony Powell nevertheless deal in the universal themes that would define his oeuvre: pride, greed, and the strange drivers of human behavior. Scathingly funny and insightful character studies, Powell’s early works reveal the stirrings of the unequaled style, ear for dialogue, and eye for irony that would reach their caustic peak in his epic, A Dance to the Music of Time. 
   
  Powell’s sophomore novel, Venusberg, follows an English journalist named Lushington as he travels by boat to an unnamed Baltic state. Navigating an elegant and politically precarious social scene, Lushington becomes infatuated with his very own, very foreign Venus. An action-packed literary precursor to Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel, Venusberg is replete with assassins and Nazis, loose countesses and misunderstandings, fatal accidents and social comedy.
