The Underwood

'The Underwood' is a poignant tale of a parentless twenty-one-year-old pianist who lands the job of lounge entertainer in a once glorious and elegant establishment. Enter the young Foster Lutz, and the hotel-including the lives of its inhabitants-is set for a spell of splendour and rejuvenation. A loss-of-innocence novel set in an atmosphere pervaded with nostalgia and a yearning for a bygone era. Holden Caulfield meets Barton Fink. Winner of the 20th annual 3-Day Novel-Writing Contest.
