About this title: The Basque Hotel, the first volume in Laxalt's Basque-family trilogy, is the coming of age story of a young Basque boy named Pete. Too prone to dreams, Pete undergoes his rites of passage -- cruelty and kindness, disillusionment, love and terror, pathos and hilarious adventure, and finally, a cautious understanding of his world.
