Chevron Hotel, Sydney- post card
83 Macleay Street, Potts Point The Chevron Hotel in Sydney was the city's first major hotel in the International Style. Built by Stanley Korman and opened in September 1960 as the Chevron-Hilton, the hotel played host to most of the celebrities and dignitaries visiting Sydney through the 1970''s. Its Silver Spade Room was a popular dining room and showroom. Oddly, the hotel was never completed according to Korman's original scheme which included an 800 room tower of 35 stories. The expansion site remained a deep hole for years. A more modest expansion later increased the number of rooms from about 278 to 440. The hotel was purchased by the Nikko corporation and. after some consideration of renovation, was demolished in 1985. Its replacement, the Nikko, subsequently became the Parkroyal and has itself been mostly rebuilt into the present Ikon Sydney.

“A haunting, masterful work.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Plain but precocious Alma has taken up residence with a group of teenage war orphans in the abandoned Hotel Sarajevo.
Fourteen years old and self-admittedly plain, Alva ekes out an existence in war-ravaged Sarajevo. She has taught herself English from The Catcher in the Rye and has taken up residence with a gang of teenage war orphans in the abandoned Hotel Sarajevo. As the novel develops, this child becomes a young woman, capable of both friendship and love.
This coming-of-age story, told in the first person, gives a distressingly accurate picture of the surreal, day-to-day life in a war-torn city. Alma's sexual awakening stands in poignant juxtaposition to war's random cruelty, pinned down by the haunting image of a shrine to two slain lovers, one Muslin and one Serb. On her walks through the destruction in the streets, Alma becomes our guide to the besieged city and the accompanying psychological trauma. Entrapped by a siege, forced to witness the slaughter of her companions, Alma is ultimately transformed into a young woman able to come to terms with the brutal horrors of war and--by association--her own mortality.
