LAURA VAN DEN BERG: Thank you so much for having me, Scott. Laura van den Berg's novel is "The Third Hotel." And Laura van den Berg, who's previously published collections of stories and a novel and lectures at Harvard joins us from WGBH in Boston. Laura van den Berg has written what amounts to a shape-shifter of a novel, where Clare searches for clarity and finality in a world that keeps changing, flashing and rearranging itself.

Clare, a recently widowed woman who's at the center of Laura van den Berg's new novel, goes to a movie one night at the Havana Film Festival and sees the last person she'd expect, her late husband.

Within moments, however, Antonio, Sebastian, and Gonzalo have returned topside again, much to the boatswain's annoyance. The royal party exits, presumably to go below deck to seek shelter. If he lacks this power, the royal party should go below decks, as the boatswain orders.

As the sailors fight to save the ship, several of the royal passengers enter, and Alonso, the king, demands to know where the master (captain) is to be found. The location is a ship at sea, with a royal party on board. The Tempest opens in the midst of a fierce storm.
