For the Guardian, John Mullan named ten of the best visits to Venice in literature.One novel on the list:
The Comfort of Strangers by Ian McEwanRead about the other literature on Mullan's list.
Venice is an unnamed city of menace in McEwan's slow-building shocker. A dully contented English couple, Mary and Colin, get lost in the city and are rescued by Robert, an over-friendly type who takes them home to meet his wife. An invitation to a lovely Venetian apartment is an intro to a nasty game of domination and submission.
--Marshal Zeringue
