Summary of Dana Brown's Dilettante

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 I had a spotty record in life already. I was quiet and shy when I was young, and I didn’t have any skills or interests. I had a vague interest in being a rock star, but I wasn’t a good musician. I was never good at anything.

#2 I was a fun-loving, social person, but I didn’t have many close friends. I felt self-conscious and desperate for approval and acceptance. I was able to move on from friendships without sentiment, like an emotional transient.

#3 The hotel business was started by Ian Schrager and his partner, Steve Rubell, who opened the Morgans Hotel on the east side of Madison Avenue between Thirty-seventh and Thirty-eighth in 1980. They imported some of the nightclub flair and high-design aesthetic to their new venture, dimming the lights, painting the walls in dark muted tones, and Robert Mapplethorpe prints on the walls.

#4 The Royalton Hotel’s lobby was anarchic and upscale, and it had been designed by French designer Philippe Starck. It was dark but thoughtfully lit. Everything was purposeful, in its right place, no detail too small to go unnoticed or unattended.
